I hope you ate all of the cockles. They might be a tad smelly by Monday.

Only ever had Bisto confiscated myself.

Hubby smuggled through 2 humungous bars of Galaxy, 1 huge bar of Fruit & Nut, 2 huge bars Mint Aero, 5 pack Boosts, Double Deckers, Milky Way, Fry's Turkish Delight, 2 huge tubs Bisto Gravy Granuals, 2 pkts beef OXO cubes, 2 jars Coleman's Mint Sauce, 2 tubs Korma Curry Powder, 2 pkts ea Colemans Beef Bourguinon Mix, Beef Stroganoff Mix, 3 pkts ea Caramel Wafers, Caramel Logs, Jaffa Cakes, 2 large jars Marmite, 1 large jar Branston Pickle, 1 jar Mary Berry's Lemon & Thyme Sauce, 3 pkts Easi-Yo Yoghurt Mix with no probs in April. Followed closely by in-laws in March with more chocolate, bisto and biscuits.

The secret is to get someone else to do the smuggling ;) that way you will never be caught.

PS. In laws brought Dairy Milk with Apricot Crunch - WTH !! - I suppose I can suck the chocolate off and leave the apricot - bleuch !!

Back of the Inns, down the lane from the back entrance to Castle Mall.

I did read that they had gone into receivership, so maybe they aren't open anymore. :(

It's Whittards and its a specialist tea shop. I believe there's branches throughout the UK.

Was it customs, or security that binned it?

I think a few people get caught out by the security loophole when entering the US. Although you can put liquids in your check-in luggage, and can carry on liquids bought in duty free within the UK airport terminal, you fall foul of security when you have a connecting flight. I just flew via Philly to North Carolina, and after going through immigration and customs in Philly, transferees have to go back through security. For those who were paying attention, there was an announcement telling people to put any liquids bought in duty-free into their checked-in luggage before transferring. Must be pretty annoying to pay out on a nice bottle of whiskey or perfume only to have it taken away by the security staff...
