Re: Woolworths have a UK sweet section
I'm going hunting in the international tastes section (if they have one) of my local Woolies tomorrow. I'm sure I would have unearthed these British goodies but I will have another look. And will check out Coles for the Angel delight.
I think our international tastes corner is more likely to have a large selection of noodles. Then again, it could be vegemite...

Re: Woolworths have a UK sweet section
The only time I go in our Coles is when I run out of Mint Sauce and Hellmanns. Wish Woolies would stock them, I hate Coles (I think it's something to do with having a 5% discount card at Woolies)

Was I supposed to buy you Colmans Mint Sauce a while ago? I just had a 'oh shit' moment when I this. The only time I go in our Coles is when I run out of Mint Sauce and Hellmanns. Wish Woolies would stock them, I hate Coles (I think it's something to do with having a 5% discount card at Woolies)

I would ratehr shop in Woolies, but Coles is walking distance and Woolies is miles away by bus at Chermside so I don't get there often. If I could do home delivery from Asda I'd be in heaven, but apparently I'm outside the area

Our 'local' Woolies will have squat tomorrow I bet you, some Dutch crispbreads and that'll be the lot ... I'll report back. Don't all wait up now.

Re: Woolworths have a UK sweet section
The bigger Woolies at Westfield Helensvale QLD has this English section...all the stuff already mentioned and also 'Twiglets' *yum*. I work for Woolies and can reliably inform you that they will soon be selling 'Comfort' fabric conditioner too!

Re: Woolworths have a UK sweet section
Plenty of British and Irish shops around in most cities and online, you just have to pay more than you would at home. Then there's always the Red Cross parcels from people back home too.....

No it wasn't me!! I only ran out this week, was going to restock from the irish shop but then Coles obliged by getting some in. So i don't know who it was, sorry
