Re: Info from British ex pats in Dubai
every time I visit I have to bring a ton of Marmite with me for friends... I can't stand the stuff but they pretty much put it on everything and can't seem to find it out there... veggie-mite don't cut it apparently.

ah, martmite... that would be the stuff that's akin to licking John Prescotts scrotum after he's been to the gym... horrible bloody stuff.

Re: Info from British ex pats in Dubai
this really does sound like a costa del sol thread..
In all fairness, most bases are covered in some form or other here.
Put together prohibitive licensing requirements and retail rents for anything in a decent position that would be more akin to Oxford St prices and you have enough effective barriers in place for anything but the most deep pocketed entrepreneur.
But one word for a new business here: Greggs.

British products? That'll narrow down the options as Britain barely manufactures anything these days....
