Just sit tight. I have called the Special Ambulance to come get you. They are bringing a lovely, warm, cosy white jacket for you to pop on, so don't be scared..:rofl:

I'm with you on this. There is something quite enjoyable about a spam sandwich (on white bread natch). It lasts until the final mouthful is consumed and then the remorse (& heartburn) sets in.....;)

The Canadian (or probably just Newfoundland) equivalent seems to be "Vienna Sausages". Frequently eated straight from the tin by friends and relatives here.

:rofl: I'm a tetleys girl myself. Although if god forbid I couldn't get hold of tetleys second best would be Yorkshire Tea (even if it is grown in India!)

And for the record I will be getting friends and family to bring me teabags. Saying that I get a mate to ship me Dunkin Donuts from America. Fussy? Me? Nah I just like what I like! :D

Stotties aren't cakes! ;) Stotties are great big soft bread buns for sandwiches! :rofl:

But yes you can't beat a good stottie - with fish and chips and a cuppa! :)

Great big bread buns - usually so big they dip a bit in the middle. You'd be hard pushed to eat a whole one yourself for lunch! :)

If I were fluent I could likely translate into Danish, but since the rule is English only on the board, I think "As opposed to a Danish Carlsberg" is the best I can do.

At least it's clear you didn't plagiarize that remark.

On a more positive note, they just opened a Timmies in Dubai last month. I think I heard you need a million bucks for a franchise? We had a Timmies in Afghanistan when I was on my tour

When my OH was in Afghan they had removed the 'Timmies' because they were getting 'Tummies' :)

You are right about that....it turned out folks were stuffing their faces, and forgetting to workout, mostly the logistics types that had desk jobs :thumbdown:

Walmart (at least the one near me) has just started stocking 'British Groceries', you can get Polo mints, Yorkshire Tea, Club Biscuits, Roses Lime Marmalade, Branston Pickle, my personal favourite - Twiglets, and lots more stuff that I had completely forgotten about. Prices seem pretty reasonable too. I have always been one to adapt to the products on offer here - but I must admit to having slipped the odd club biscuit into my trolley.

As has ours - I have to admit getting a little giddy on seeing rather generous-sized bars of Dairy Milk beckoning me from across the aisle :D and the Canadian OH nearly wet himself seeing an extra large jar of Branston pickle. Lol.

I've happily accepted groceries over here, but sometimes, just sometimes, there are times when a bar of dairy milk and a cup of yorkshire tea is required... nom nom!
