Yeah didn't see this one in England either. Maybe it's rebranded.

Found it in Coles next to the marmite.

EDIT: It got the weight in ounces. It must be British.
True, and no Afrikaans

Looking forward to finding and trying it

Of course not, the booze is pretty much d'habitude. However, I cannot afford to buy him a rolex every day

I managed to get a new top for DDs water bottle for free from the lovely lady in the shop where we bought it - she broke it on the 2nd day back!

Our local greengrocer has put aside some old polystyrene boxes for me to use in my next garden project - for free also.

Both the above carried out in a friendly manner and a smile!!!
