I think the consensus of opinion was, why would they stock British goods to sell to Americans. :o

OMG I do that sometimes, lovingly stroking the Birds custard.....until I see the price.

Wow, I'm sure it was MUCH cheaper when I bought it there. When I was feeling very homesick after Christmas, I had a bit of a mad spree in there... bad news when you're an emotional wreck!!

Dunno where in CT you are, but I work in Stamford and the new S&S there has the biggest British, er, I mean Irish, section I've seen in one - better than the one near my home, and also better than the last W*****s I was in, anyway. Plus, over the road, is a Shop Rite that sells fresh sausages, bacon and black pudding. A few years ago, I'd have been really excited...now I'm sad to say it's just mildly interesting....
