I reckon i have tried most different kinds over the years and none of them are the same. Some taste pretty good but they are slightly the wrong colour and it does me head in!

When are you guys gonna come out for a drink with us?
At what price is the Robinsons though??? May have to take a diversion on the way home from work one evening.....

How about we meet somewhere kinda halfway for drinks sometime, as the taxi fare back to the west end from downtown is kinda steep.....? We should get Viki & James, and Paul to join us too, have a good old British knees up!

Wow! That's great! I miss a decent steak and kidney pie. Why do they insist on putting vegetables in them over here? How about the steak and kidney puds; do they do those?

Oh I totally get the colour thing - too darned dark, and even for the "Original" flavour, there is still a sugary undertone......

Never liked salad cream.

Used to work for Heinz many years ago at the plant where they made it in North London. They shut the plant down just over 10 years ago and moved the salad cream production to Holland, no idea if the taste changed at all.

Last week Ribena was on sale for $2.99 in the Chinese supermarket in West Ed Mall. Think it's T & T. I bought 3 bottles and they had a huge supply of the stuff.

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Edmonton or online that I can get monster munch from? Its my favorite snackable but I can't get it anywhere. The English snack shop in the west Edmonton mall doesn't sell them
