Re: uk food in coles
Talking to Mrs Soapy the other day I think its a fairly new section in that particular Coles. Lots of them have a small bit now - you just have to get there quick before someone beats you to it!!

Re: uk food in coles
Is Hartley's Jam special 
Only ask because there is always a couple of shelves dedicated to the stuff in my Coles. Jam's jam in my (uneducated) opinion. Only British things I'm expected to get is Hellmanns and Coleman's Mint Sauce and they're always there. Got a tin of Custard a few months ago, someone made one portion and the rest will be there until it gets thrown out through being out of date

Re: uk food in coles
They have the same section in the Robina Coles. In fact i've been in 3 different coles and all had them. I've been here for a couple of months now, so I know they have had these sections at least that long.
In the US all the Publix supermarkets have Brit sections with bigger choice at cheaper prices than here.
It just shows how may people are leaving the UK for other countries !!

Re: uk food in coles
Our Coles always has English products - again in the Asian section. About 10 weeks ago Aldi had 'English week' and I stocked up on Hob nobs, Hp sauce, Echo bars and McVities digestives - they didn't last long!!
