Random perhaps but I wish I'd stuck in a load of persil and comfort! Nothing else compares plus more baby supplies and nappies are expensive here. Oooh and as someone else said, decent crisps.

We bought a large set of reusable nappies in the UK, which has proved a good investment. Might be a good idea to consider.

Yes, the mechanically recovered meat and floor sweepings are far superior in Britain......

Know someone who has just imported some pots from the Le Creuset range and they were not cheap. I used to have a pair of oven gloves bearing their name when I was a bachelor lol.

As for sausages - just don't buy cheap beef. The message is clear - buy pork and/or gourmet..
