Slightly off topic, but I do take those US paper toilet seat covers when visiting the UK

Apart from the last bit, knocking the bearing races out, then a big ****-off hammer and a chisel was indeed the order of the day.

I wouldn't say 'stock up on' but there is always an order for a few packs of Frazzles whenever anyone goes back.

Re: What do you stock up on when visiting UK?
We've not been back to the UK for three years but always give parents a shopping list before they come over to ours for their hols. This usually includes:
Beef Space Raiders
Cheese Moments
Scampi Fries
Roysters Bubble Steak crisps
Pub style ploughman's lunches
We can usually get most other stuff from Park n Rob when we have 100 dibs to fritter away.
