I can get A1 here in Cardiff, but the cheeky so and so who runs the Deli wants to charge me nearly £6 a bottle, for something that retails at about about £1.50 over there ! I am a bit mad but not that mad !

We foodies sometimes take leave of our senses Retrochic !
I have some Ex-pat British friends that now live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and for the first 10 years, they bought Birds Custard Power, HP Sauce and Custard Creams mail-order from an address in California. But after 10 years, they admitted defeat and now eat mostly American food ! They have now lived in America for nearly 40 years and talk with distinct Yankie accents !
But I still take them a jar of Branston when I visit ! Jim reckons its the only thing that makes a cheese sarny taste of anything, as most American Cheddar is just about up to our Mild standard, if that.
"Mild Cheddar"...an oxymoron if ever I heard one !

237....I think that sending this from Cananda might make it rather expensive. but thanks very much for the offer.
Another flipping thing you can't get anymore is Heinz Curried Beans, in those small cans. They sell something similar but they are not half as nice. I wish these companies would inform me when they are going to stop selling a staple food like these....I would have gone to the Cash n Carry and bought a case if I had known !
Seems I am not the only one :::

Baz...marmite is a funny thing. People like me think that it is made in heaven, by angels. But my ex-pat friends in NH are of the other variety, and describe it as the Devils Food ! This is an expression that I reserve for sprouts.
My days of going abroad are finished now though. I now have my caravan near Lands End, which is my paradise these days.
In fact I am off there on Sunday, until January the 3rd ! Pasty with all the trimmings for Xmas lunch this year !
