Yesterday I travelled 70kms to buy a bag of minstrels!
I guess I'm homesick then?
In all fairness I also bought a multi bag of twiglets, a Q mag from December '05, a Glamour mag from Jan '06 and found the Next shop!
Yes they have Next here. I'm saved and will be able to spend a fortune replicating the fashions of my homeland.
Unfortunately, they were shut! Something about infringing the trading laws of Australia and being in deep poo poo until they tear out the original labels in the clothes and replace them with shiny new aussie ones?
And did I tell you that the British food shop also sells Irn Bru so Shazza will also be saved. I also found them selling pot noodles for that truly authentic British dining experience?
Why would you miss pot noodles when you are living in the land of culinary genius?
Moi? How extraordinary...

ITS TAKING SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THE SYSTEM!!!!!!!! WHY CANT I JUST COME OVER AND GET MEDICALS AND CHEST X-RAYS THERE????? THEY CAN SEND ME BACK IF I AM DYING! PROMISE!
pot noodles, i hate them so much! they taste like cardboard!
Shaz, you get the BEST salt and vinegar crisps here but you can't get chicken flavour!!?
Moo, agreed. Wholeheartedly! Reminds me of the ice cream van at school that used to sell them!
I'm sorry girls but you are deluded. Pot Noodles are an unrecgonised purveyor of quality food values.
The Seedy Sanchez in particular has staved off many a hungry lunch.
2 against 1 sorry! Not deluded clearly you are if you like pot noodles!!
Another anti-Pot Noodle vote here!
Irn Bru? Urgh! Disgusting! Send it all back to Scotland, where's it's their national drink after whisky.
My brain's not in gear at the moment, meaning I'm too damn lazy to think about anything, but I might use a bit of the grey matter later, and wonder...what would I miss from home if ever I left dear old Blighty, to live in a Johnny Foreigner wonderland?
First up: Pie and Mash shops!
Phew, thats three votes against 'the noodle' and two for. Thanks fatalist for swinging the vote!
And the irn bru is for Shazza as she is in fact Scottish! she's moving down under too and will be terrified of the new fangled aussie drinks like passiona (how eighties?)
Irn bru is quite nice but only when mixed with copius amounts of alcohol coupled with dancing on bar tables!
I have never had irn bru with alcohol i think i may try it this weekend!
Do they sell Marmite? I could never ever cope without Marmite. I always pack a pot in my suitcase when venturing to far off lands don't-you-know?
P.S. Pot noodles are vom and Irn-Bru is yuck... But not as yuck as Dr Pepper... Uggh. Even the smell makes me queasy.
Fear not dear H as we have marmite!
As well as promite, vegemite, marmite (in Oz marmite is mymate and some other inferior rubbish is marmite?!) and generic brands for aprox 20cents!
Vegamite *shudders* is it odd that I have no idea what pot noodles are?
Street, i'd say you were very fortunate to not know what they are. They suck the brain cells from your head then convert them to fat cells to layer on your gut!
