Re: Boots No7 Products in US?

Re: WalMart Food and Drink

My local Walmart sells an 'English Toasting Sandwich Bread' in the bakery section. So much better than the sugary crap on the shelves. It's usually discounted too... my freezer is full of the stuff....

Re: Flying back to the UK - last minute questions
