I think they will N.....lucky moo.
I know but when I know that our family and friends have paid only 99p and usually buy one get one free, it's not the same as paying $$$$$ for them here

Your right, I have tried the whole range (not a lot of choice) of local crisps...the chicken ones were the last resort...and they tasted so unlike Chicken.....once upon a time here you could buy Smokey Bacon....they were not toooo Bad....my favs when I was younger (to long ago to remember!!) was Bovril flavour...honestly they were lovely.....use to have a packet with hot chocolate after our swimming lessons.......

I know what you mean, but then there's the postage and the wait and that's if customs doesn't take a liking to them.

I don't mind the ones you get from Aldi,they are quite tasty but will never hold a candle to the UK crisps.Tesco own make Salt and vinegar(special selection ones), are that tasty they strip a layer of skin off your tongue. The British kettle chips also,the cheese and onion ones were laden with flavour.....I'm salivating now !!

As an Everton fan I have loved Gary Lineker since the mid 80's. I had pictures of him all over my bedroom wall.
