Re: British Emporium, Grapevine TX
Hi! Just wanted to respond to your replies on the 'Cadburys' question.
Jerseygirl: Thanks for mentioning Candian British shops. My sister's hoping to move to Canada in the next couple of years, so I'll bear that one in mind!
Woodstock: Thanks also for responding. Wow, I think if those bars had been in my fridge, they wouldn't last very long!! I'm in North Texas and have found creme eggs so have stocked up on those to keep the pangs at bay. Next time I head back to the UK, I'll be that strange lady loading my trolley with heaps of Cadburys bars from the Tescos shelves!! I always do a 'supermarket sweep' the day before I fly back to the US to keep me going for the next six months!
Again, thanks for the replies and sorry for not responding sooner!

Target sometimes have the real cadburys in (as opposed to the Hersheys licenced stuff)

Not bad for $30!!
If you're anywhere in the DFW metroplex, I really recommend giving it a visit. It totally cured my homesickness, and it was so nice to speak to people who had the same accent as me.
Sorry if this isn't the place for recomendations, but I had to mention it.

Yeah, alright ... but just who is this Yorkie Bitter guy anyway?
