Mmm yes I agree what's the point in emigrating to a country and then complaining that country has too many of it's own inhabitants???

HA!! That's hilarious. Now coz you've said that I HAVE to fly to the USA and have some ben and jerry's just once in my life - coz I don't wanna feel deprived. Tip Top vanilla is delish, though, especially with hot espresso coffee poured on it! - Try it, it's the best coffee ice cream ever!

Ha ha ha, now that's interesting, but if Buzzy thinks Tip Top is like frozen margarine then the clotted cream should at least bump it up to butter status! maybe we should stick a big dollop of strawberry jam and a scone on top too!

(That sounds like a devonshire tea type ice-cream creation - we should go into the ice-cream business for the most absurd flavours!....bring on the calories....the more the better..........hee hee...)

I can feel a new business venture forming here.....importing the above and many other things that you don't get in N.Z.
Worcestershire sauce. I live not too far from where that's made. Is that available down under?? I would def miss that.

Maybe I should start a business here in the U.K. exporting and bring the business to N.Z with me along with everyones goodies. Not sure how to transport the Ben & Jerrys though. My fave is Phish food. They were buy one get one free in Tesco the other week. YUM

Stop that. Stop that right now.
I've gone cold turkey on Phish Food for 2½ years.
We used to buy a tub then sit there with 2 spoons and not stop till it'd all gone. It's bad bad stuff.
