Robinsons is the only thing I can't get easily. Everything else is available, even if it's a bit pricey. They sell hobnobs, marmite, pg tips etc in my local urban fare which is where I do all my middle class aspirational food shopping.

This British food thing is weird. I was so excited at seeing Robinson's Barley Water that I almost bought a bottle. The I remember that it's not gluten free and I haven't been able to drink the stuff for a decade. Even before that I never used to buy it, so why the heck was I pleased to see it?

I lurked for a good 5 minutes in the same shope lusting after a large bar of Bourneville, never used to buy it in the UK.

What's that all about then?

What I really would like is a deep fried battered piece of black pudding, some chips and some curry sauce from the chippy in Leighton Buzzard. (none of it gluten free though)

What kind of tea are you looking for? Tetley is common and easy to find, as has been mentioned. Don't bother with Red Rose (our Canadian equivalent), I don't think it's as good. I like to get my tea from the Secret Garden Tea Co. in Vancouver, they have awesome stuff!

There is a drug store in Black Diamond (The one on the corner) can't remember the name but I think it begins with an S, sells Robinsons Squash (C$6.99 per bottle) and other british stuff, bisto granules, Irn Bru etc but is really expensive, nice for a treat

Smarties. I miss my Smarties.

And Lucozade.

And those ice cream cones with a chocolate stick thing in them (they were called 66's when I were young, but they soon went up to 99's).

I blame the guvmint.

I think you could make your own 99 ice cream! I know they recently started selling Cadbury Flake bars (the chocolate stick you are talking about) here in Canada. If you go to Dairy Queen and grab a nice plain soft serve cone, and stick your flake bar in it, it could be a passable imitation ...

Oh, how I miss being in Ireland, where you could get a 99 at every street corner! (I was there for a working holiday and got way too attached.)

And Smarties ... do you mean the little rainbow candy-coated chocolates, or are you talking about those little wrapped rolls of pill-shaped, powdery candies? We call the former Smarties; the latter are called Rockets, and remain my most favourite Hallowe'en candy

Move to Victoria, we can get it all here!

walked around a few stores looking for buiscuits.
couldnt find any

DOH, there in the isle called COOKIES !!

and what about Marie & Rich Tea,

London Drugs has a fair selection of biscuits. You can also pick up some toiletries and a computer.

Smarties are similar to M n m's

Smarties? You can get Smarties everywhere. You could get Smarties here for decades. Hrmm...

Yeah, Smarties are indeed everywhere ... weird that you couldn't find them!

How dare you.
