Jaffa cakes (M&S ones)
Walkers Crisps
(UK) Heinz baked beans
Farrows marrowfat peas
Curly Wurlys (or anything Cadburys for that matter)
Branston pickle (yes it is available here but tastes a bit different)
Dusters (the traditional yellow ones - can't find them anywhere, just those swiffer things all over the place!)and lastly, a decent flavour roll-on deodorant (sprays virtually non-existent here)

Yep definatley agree about deodourant - I hate those sticks and haven't seen a decent spray anywhere.
Galaxy - I bought a load back a couple of weeks ago and handed them to the girls at work - they were smitten too!
Rum called Nelsons Blood made in Burnham Thorpe Norfolk (and only there!)
Chicken and mushroom pies and black pudding from Butch's chippy and a kebab at 2am please
Everything else can be replaced by Cheeze Whizz
