Default Flying home - any requests?

Flying to the UK on Friday for a week. While I'm obviously not going to bring anything back for anyone (selfish bugger that I am), I was wondering whether anyone had any special requests as to anything I should eat on their behalf whilst there?

Promise to reply after the trip and let you know how nice it was and how much you enjoyed it.

Honey and Lemon Lockets. JG picked me some up, but she's keeping hold of them until I can finally start a good thread

No I'm good. I can get most British stuff within walking distance although some of it's a bit pricey.
Only thing I could do with is a decent curry, but I just make my own
