As I understand it shopping there will help local producers more than going to one of the 'big names' ... might all just be more marketing guff though ...

I am amazed this thread is still going on. I was even more surprised to see someone quoted me as though I got my meat and veg in coles or woolies Haven't bothered looking at my post but I must have been in wind up mode as I never buy my fruit, veg or meat from a supermarket. But then I never did in the UK either. Butchers, fruit/veg barns, farmers markets all here on my doorstep. All good. Some people really need to take a step back and chill a bit, life is for living not for stressing about a supermarket. Good grief

8 out of 10 Irish kids (in a taste test penguins v tim tams, where bars were not identified) prefer....TIM TAMS!!! FACT! And one of the remaining 2 thought they tasted better mushed together with orange juice....

Hmmm, interesting ... that's a pretty compelling reason to up-sticks I'd say

I don't mind a Tim Tam (of any flavour) as it goes but you can't whack a Cherry Ripe.

If only you could grow those in the garden eh?

I still prefer penguins.... I don't get why tim tams are so popular over here, but it seems that everyone loves them! (But then I don't understand vegemite or milo either.... I will always be an outsider here!! )

If I could do that and distill me own JD then I just wouldn't bother going out.

What, and spend even more time on BE LOL?!

I can't talk, I've hardly been on here lately but I'm currently working on a politics assignment and all of a sudden I can't stay away, funny that.

nothing better than forum politics

A rich source of entertainment is this.

Especially threads like this.

If there are generalisations waiting to be swept then just create the right conditions and wait for 'em ... build it and they will come

I know its pretty cold in ireland sometimes but where the hell did the kids get the penguins,from the zoo ???
