Never even heard of them so googled it. Chocolate from M and S:thumbup:
You can see I never did my food shopping there:p

And no I don't know where you can get them! Maybe you could move onto something else? I seem to have become addicted to Jet Planes since I got here...

Must have read it wrong-I'm sure it said they were chocolate or maybe that's just my brain playing tricks on me:sneaky:
Glad you found some- I've still got one more tube of Fruit Pastilles left before I have to go and hunt for some. Can't believe they've lasted so long [probably due to the Jet Planes taking their place in my heart:wub:]

Can't help with the Percy Pigs, so sorry, I do hope you manage to find some. For me it's Fry's Peppermint Creams....over a year since my last bar of it and I'm still struggling with the withdrawal symptoms :rofl::rofl:.
Sadly it's the only chocolate I like...nothing else will do.

ooh I love Percy pigs, one of the best things to come out of M&S so pleased to hear they can be found over there :D

Where is Bramptons?

:wub: for pineapple lumps though, mmm starting to see why the waistline is expanding :o

Also could not live with out English Marmite, have found it in some supermarkets while over there so obviously am able to migrate :thumbsup:

Readily available from Coles supermarkets in Australia as Peggy Pig and Pals. Couldn't believe it when I saw them and then I read the back of the pack, it said Made in Germany, so I thought they must be the same, and they were.

I believe you can get them at the English shop in Devonport. It is the shop situated in the old post office. Otherwise, nearest M and S is Singapore :)

Bramptins must have just got a new container in yesterday as the one in Browns Bay was full of boxes ready to be opened and their contents put on the shelves. The may now have a new stock of Percy Pigs.


Personnally I dont like them, sorry :(
