Default Jelly Babies in Vancouver?

I've recently moved back to Vancouver from London and have been craving a bag of Bassets Jelly Babies. (They have to be Bassets because no other jelly babies will do.)

Does anyone know of a good British grocery in Vancouver that carries them?

Thanks everyone, I'll go check out the store in Chilliwack!

(And I do agree, jelly babies are a matter of life and death!)

Less far than Chilliwack - you should try Clayburn Village Store(between Mission and Abbotsford) which has everything English - pies, bacon, pasties, sweets etc. And a nice little English tea shop so you can stop and have a cuppa tea as well.

Grrr. I've not eaten Jelly Babies for months and now all of a sudden *I* have a craving for them!

Fortunately, they sell them in the corner shop 100m down the road.. You see, there *are* upsides to the CIC taking four years to process a PR application!
