Now that has led me into temptation. Not the Penguins but the Quavers...then I see you can get Hula hoops as well.... Snoop will have to confiscate my credit cards

That's odd. The only thing I ever found on Amazon that wasn't even more expensive than the usual suspects for mail order Brit stuff was Mackay's marmalades (for the whisky version, among others) but I see that's okay and free delivery too.

I followed the link and there are a couple of deals for 20 Flakes for around $20, free postage.

Spellbound from England is the seller but then on their own amazon page they have one 100g jar of Nescafe espresso for $21.16 a single 4-pack of Aero for $16.98 and other stuff I'll check out later.

I was surprised to find quite a few things on there that aren't too expensive, when you consider that it's free postage. Pataks Balti Paste - which I can't get here for love nor money for one. I make 90% of my curries from scratch but do miss a good balti!

I was very intrigued by this stuff.. am wondering how good it is and if you could make extra thick double with it. Heavy Cream Powder "Try using a blender to mix 3/8 cup of powder with a cup of water and let the mix sit overnight in the refrigerator to make each cup of heavy cream." - anyone tried it?

Edited to add - Nescafe Expresso $4.97 and free shipping for you Bristol

Not sure I like the idea of cream from powder. On the other hand there's custard and angel delight from powder and that's nice enough.


This was the one I saw It shows it's worth shopping around.

The free shipping needs to get to $35 though? But then if that was a coffee I used to drink - say Master Blend or Carte Noire, I'd get the necessary number of jars

Is anyone else a bit annoyed sometimes with the so called Goofs section on IMDB?

Okay some of them are understandable - an actor's body position changing according to camera angle, a glass that nears empty and is suddenly full in the next shot. Those I just think are funny.

But when people claim factual errors - because they are 'anoraks' and they know that a piece of music couldn't have been played on the radio in that April 1965 scene because it wasn't released until July ...well that's one thing but when people claim factual error and it's not, well that's something else.

I just read this one.
So when the company changed its name they withdrew from sale and recalled all the bags with the old name on from all over the world.

Yeah right.

And no place in Spain, particularly in the 70s with any amount of tat like donkeys, ever sold an item that wasn't bang up to date.

As if...

Did find some but it's not cheap!

The rental market is becoming too competitive and expensive.

BristolUK

Just over $50 with delivery for 400g.

Here I don't mind Taster's Choice Dark Roast and Nescafe Colombian for when there's nothing in the pot and I can't be bothered to make more. I generally buy a few of those when they're about $4 a jar.

For pods, I've discovered the Giant Value brand in Giant Tiger is pretty good - at least the Dark Roast. I bought a 12-pack on offer. Under 50c a pod's not bad.

Hopefully there may be a vacancy coming up in the USA to tempt you out of retirement. .

How are you at signing executive orders?

scrubbedexpat091

I'll outsource the signing of the orders..

I'd work for even 25% of 400,000/yr lol hell even 10% of that wage.. ha ha

What happened, are you and Mrs Smith ok?

Shirtback

They are, but not a particularly good place to be. Hope you and the Mrs are okay?
