BTW as soon as I get back to the UK I shall go to my fave British restaurant - my local tapas bar!

All the coridals tend to be in the same aisle of the supermarket away from the the juices. My only gripe is they don't do as many low sugar ones as the UK. I have been buying one call lite cup I think and its a tropical one. I have run out otherwise I would go and look at the bottle.

i must seem really thick, but they all look same to me

cordial at my local woolies is down same isle as juice - the homebrand one I use says orange codial on it and is OK as far as juice goes (maybe not as good as robinsons lol) - also heres a little tip for you - look for a bright green bottle and that will be lime codial so the rest should be around there somewhere lol

My tip? - If it looks like washing up liquid, it's cordial!

that is so true, but my kids loved it


you can get some low sugar ones, but not in every variety.

After 43 years in Australia I still pine for UK products. My comparison.

AUSTRALIA: WheatBix tasteless crumbly cereal biscuit. Heinz baked beans, again bland and the 'English Recipe' variety is an insult.

UK: give me Wheat-a-bix any day they are tasty and hold together. Heinz 57 Varieties baked beans are surley the best.

I agree with another correspondent most food in Australia is bland. I also miss drinks like Tizer, Vimto and Dandelion and Burdock. Occasionally you do see some imported products on the shelves. I was in Tennant Creek NT of all places a few years back and they had cans of imported D&B I think I was the only one who bought them in fact I think I bought the lot.

You've obviously been here too long Bob, it's Wheetabix. We can get them here in our local IGA and the UK Shop but they are now called 'Whole Wheat Biscuits' for import reasons. I agree, they are far superior to the aussie Weet-Bix.

Biscuits in oz are hard too, but I did like the scotch fingers - great for dunking in your cuppa

St.Georges Girl

I agree with you, but I'm not a big biscuit eater so it's not something that has really ever bothered me. I have always thought the few I have tasted are just like the flour and water paste my mum used to make for us to stick things in our scrapbooks when we were small. I buy most of the biscuits in the UK shop or in IGA and Coles when they have the English makes in stock. I found Maryland Cookies a few weeks ago and bought 4 packs for OH and son, the difference between those and the aussie choc chip was phenomenal.

I bought some of those too but was thoroughly disappointed as they didn't taste as I remembered. The kids prefer mine too
