Mmmm. You've given me a craving for Lemon Barley. Can't say I've ever seen Robinson's for sale here in Edmo, but someone else might know. You can get Fentiman's in lots of places; I like their ginger beer, but it's a bit pricey.

Dont tease people with faint hope:frown:

Sadly a lack of robinsons is the price paid for otherwise living in paradise.

At least my local "global food, we can import anything" type store cant get it....

One of my local supermarkets used to sell the Granthams squash, but they stopped stocking it:(

OK, I suppose I'll now have to admit that I've no clue as to what Robinson's Squash actually is. Apart obviously from a non alcoholic drink, a category in which I have little interest.

I'm amazed. You did grow up in Britain in the 50's and 60's? Maybe this will refresh your memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DBYU...yer_detailpage

I bought Roses Lime Cordial in Sobeys today. I like an occasional Lemon and Barley Water and could never get it in France, so my husband used to leave me for six weeks work in Tanzania and bring back a couple of bottles from there. It would now appear that he will shunt a bottle or two to Canada....whatever are the airmiles on this little transaction could one suppose?

The Brit store in West Ed sells it along with pork pies and stuff - at a premium of course.

This lot will deliver "non-perishibles" Nation-wide. What you're looking for is under 'Drinks & Beverages'

Get some minute maid out of the freezer and make juice up, it's not robinsons but it's about as good as you are going to get without paying a silly price...:)
