It's worth the drive there just for that then - only takes about 40 mins from Ashhurst. Now there's a trip for the school holidays !!!!!!

interesting, but as any Scot will tell you, it's actuall Irn Bru, they had to change the name when someone sued them claining it didn't contain any iron.
Rather than go to court and revel the reciepe which is only known to 2 family members, they changed the name:nice1

Ooh Levin is only an hour away!! My Mum just shipped me out a box full of all the different flavours of Bisto gravy granules at great expense - will probably cost me less in petrol to get them now! Jaffa Cakes - yum!! now you're talking! (says she tucking into a box of Tim Tam balls!)
We have a British Shop in Welly but they sell some of the stuff in New World way cheaper - at Xmas I went into the British shop & paid $17 - yes $17!!! for a pack of after eights - well its just not Xmas without them is it?! I went into the local New World - they were $5! What a rip off!!!

That's why Levin was so busy on Friday, ex-pats stocking up.
Nothing to do with the centennial celebrations as previously thought. :laugh

Glad you've sourced some staples there everyone! sarahw, what are Tim Tam balls? We can buy regular Tim Tams at Tesco now but not T-T balls, intriguing...
