Dunno about hot vimto (start with cold and warm it up? :p ), but they have Heinz tomato soup here in various shops...

I miss loads of stuff - traffic jams, general crapness, dreary weather - and am glad to!

Watties! I didn't think it was that bad, although I did only try the ketchup.

And about NZ only being only mediocre with there being no excellence is a little harsh. I found the meat and fresh veggies to be good quality compared to the UK. More expensive but better quality.

Wouldn't that be a novelty, sausages that contain the actual meat that they are meant to taste of. :lol:

I have abandoned all hope and now have venison ones but even they occasionally have a bit of ewey lambiness about them. :(

We miss that as well. We are surrounded by some beautiful rolling countryside, but we can only look. Really miss our weekend walks in Derbyshire, particularly around Chatsworth in Autumn.

Being a pedant, certainly when it comes to beer, I'm 100% certain Fruli is Belgian.

And is a drink for girls. You are a girl, aren't you?

Yep my mistake Tommyluck, Fruli is Belgian and I am indeed a lady! I'll be packing some extra in my suitcase for when I come out to NZ and grace you all with my presence :p
