No

I buy the streaky stuff and like it crispy. (Have tried loblaws and the wiltshire bacon is available here as already stated)

I watch all the live TV futty i need on sultana, and if i want the real english footy, at the game let down, disapointed live game, i go and watch TFC. Although they have won a few already.

Available at Real Canadian Superstore in the Vancouver area.

I've tried the Wiltshire bacon twice now and it has upset my stomach both times. Don't know what chemicals are in it but I won't be trying it again.

That's rich after the photos from Aintree of the English chavvy women. Were some of your family there?

Ah, I was just searching for those posts in order to make the same comment.

For once we agree.

Can I add that I don't miss bacon?

Just wanted to point out that the "Wiltshire Bacon" is actually made in the US from imported pork from Ireland.

Nothing to do with Wiltshire in England!

Except that it's pork cured using the Wiltshire cure method. Wiltshire in England that is.
