Well, yeah, but not tabloids. And you sometimes get 4-4-2, but have never seen WSC.

Now, Borders...one of those reasons to love being in the US. Sure, it's a somewhat different concept from a little bookstore in Hay-on-Wye, or the wonders of Foyles, but find it way too easy to spend too much time and money theer.

Or you could just arrange a Brit gathering and meet up half way. That way you could ask someone to bring you some. But then again, some may not be happy to oblige if you are going to be sarcastic

Rushman

Why would I arrange a Brit gathering? I came here to get away from Brits, especially those with no appreciation for sarcasm.

There's Borders in the UK. There's been branches in central London for at least six years if I'm not mistaken.

there all over the place in the UK....

as for borders over here selling foreign stuff...depends, one in Portland has loads, like the mail, mirror...no sun with the boobs though...but well expensive, it's a few bucks a paper...but the borders in bangor doesn't have anything, has UK editions of some magazines like FHM, Maxim, Front and if lucky Computer Arts at $15 a mag...so sod that *l*

Well, when I turned up over here in '96, I thought it was rather good

Ben

Was there a winky smilie after that or not? Who does not appreicate the subtleties?

Brit gatherings are great fun for the sarcasm because at least we can throw it back - but then again, maybe not everyone will appreciate that point

Rushman

I dont do "smilies". I do "rollseyesies" and "winksies"....I would do the pissed off little red face but it just doesnt carry the same weight as a well chosen and upper case expletive followed by exclamation marks.....TWAT!!!!! See what I mean?

Thanks for the tip Andy, sounds like it's worth the drive (we're in Long Beach).

Our local Stop and Shop has a fair amount of British food - it's in the 'Irish' section.

Andy_LongIsland

Ooh nice! We know where to come now after hanging out at the beach all day

I went in Stop n Shop and couldn't find bugger all there but the one near me is renovating..found chiense, italian etc but no irish

Ben

Hi Peach - I thought I had already told you about Fairways. sorry if I forgot.

Andy_LongIsland

Hey I tried Super stop n shop out - they got pretty much the same stuff as Wegmans - found that stuff under the coffee isle hehe. The only two countries they had under the euro section were italy and spain
