My Dad was over a couple of weeks ago and he brought us two 2.75kg tins of Roses, a large tin of Cadbury's biscuits, lots of those Vienesse truffle bars from Thorntons and some nice Jaffa style biscuits from M & S.

He also brought Colmans casserole mixes, tea bags and that kind of thing.

I'm going over myself in two weeks and I plan to pack as little as possible so I can fill my cases up with yet more goodies for Christmas.

With all that cloning and genetically modified mallarcy there were bound to be some side effects. Don't be too surprised though, not much of the contents in your hamburger came from a pig either.
