Thought we might lend the lad a hand in deciding what he should ask his mum to bring him when she comes over as he can’t quite remember what he misses. I understand his problem as I always miss things and then when I go back to the UK all I can think of is gravy granules and pot noodles and I’m cross when I get back. I'm also thinking this might be a good resource for other people to ask their relatives or friends to bring over. We may, with withe right analysis, come up the the definitive list of the correct things to ask for.

Twiglets
Gravy granules
Crisps (Hula Hoops, Monster Munch etc)
Pot Noodles
Biscuits
Picked Onions

That’s if for the moment.

A copy of the Sun then he will be able to see a pair of tits rather than reading about them.

Squeezy salad cream
Organe squash
Coleman's mustard
Jaffa Cakes
Knorr spaghetti bolognese sauce

I'd like to suggest an eight pack of mini pork pies but I suspect FL and his snoopy cabal would have her locked up in a heartbeat.

Your forgetting chocolate lol

I wish we were allowed to bring crispy aromatic duck from M&S.

Thanks for the help!! Already a few things on here I hadn't thought of! It's crazy how you just forget them.

Let's hope she leaves enough room in her suitcase!

The gf has already requested Galaxy chocolate

Stay away from canned goods, like beans or toast toppers as they're heavy.

burks

I suppose she can't even put crisps etc. in her hand luggage ay? Unless bought at the airport?

rivingtonpike

Apparently m&s knickers are the dog's bo****ks. Although I think they deliver internationally at a price.

Is Burks into wearing ladies underwear ? I thought it was about stuff his mother could bring for him. Oh well, each to his own. Whatever floats his boat.

rivingtonpike

They do mens too - in a very alluring "microfibre" - whatever that is!

burks

I can confirm that I do not wear ladies undies.. sorry to disappoint

Some traditional pear drops would be nice (the ones that are pink on one side and yellow on the other).

burks

Don't think I've ever seen them like that. I've seen pink pear drops and yellow pear drops. But not both colours in the same pear drop.

I do like rhubarb and custards! I buy them both every now and then as a little treat from the British shop here in town.
