Is that your own business? or are you just asking so you know what to buy from the website :)

[sweetdreams]

Yes its my business and I was just after some recommendations on what products are popular in the UK. I am still adding products to my store. :)
So anyone who has any ideas on what products they like, its most welcome!

Hi there,

Cadbury's Wispa bars would be lovely. I know they brought them back out as a limited edition, a couple of months ago, so don't know if they are still available.

[sweetdreams]

Aren't they the same as the cadbury bubbly bars? I think they renamed them. (or was that another bar?) I will have the cadbury bubbly bars by tomorrow.

[sweetdreams]

Yes, I just looked it up and that is correct what I thought.

on Wikipedia it says: In 2003, after its discontinuation, Cadbury brought the Wispa back onto market as "Dairy Milk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy_Milk) Bubbly", reformatting it as a standard 'chunks' bar (similar to other 'Dairy Milk' products) instead of the earlier whole-bar approach.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wispa#cite_note-wispa3-0)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wispa#cite_note-wispa7-3) However, in 2007, helped by an internet campaign, the Wispa bar was relaunched.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin...

Any chocolate that hasn't had some cr*p added to it so that it tastes foul
Thorntons truffles...pretty much any of them will do but my preference is Viennese and Vanilla Truffles
Jaffa Cakes, McVities, no other substitute will do
Strawberry Bonbons, toffee bonbons, lemon bonbons, any bon bon wi be honest
Double Decker
Chocolate buttons
Giant Chocolate buttons
Minstrels
Ripple, oh what I would give for a Ripple

And a Spira!!!!! Sighs wistfully

And if doing sweeties, then crisps aren't too far a leap so Walkers Crisps - Chicken, Smoky Bacon, Prawn Cocktail and Marmite please. Monster Munch. Hula Hoops. Twiglets. Quakers. Chip Sticks. Wotsits.

[Ozzygirl]

Ooooh ooooh oooh Galaxy although you can get it here in other english sweet shops but i would love you forever if you could get Starbars. I am having to look after my friends dog for 3 weeks while she goes back to the UK just to get a few brought over.

skips and quavers

hmmmm i am dreaming now

[sweetdreams]

Thanks guys, great suggestions :) I am getting a load of chocolate bars in today, I can't remember what though, I think ripples perhaps and some galaxy chocolate and minstrels and revels. I love minstrels! I am getting some more bon bons in today too and ordering some crisp flavours next week and more biscuits.
My grandad says cherry lips because he says you can't hardly get them in England any more. oh and twiglets, I love twiglets :)

Definately saw all these at a sweet shop in Victor yesterday, not too bad price wise I suppose, didn't look round to much as the kids weren't in shopping mode and the price was too high compared to my craving level! :biglaugh: Bisto gravy granules $8.50 which again, I don't dislike gravox, so didn't buy any. The shop is just up from the crown pub, if you are every there

[foxychick]

just took a look through the website - it looks very good and good to know you are here in SA with collection an option. Like the free delivery service to certain areas too. Are items able to be placed on 'back order' if they are out of stock?

[sweetdreams]

yes I can take backorders by email :)

My daughters friend sent her a bar of UK cadburys so we could do a taste challenge, when it came it was liquid and it was only a 32 deg day!:arghh:

There won't be a problem with that unless its summer. We usually post express post anyway. In summer we pack the items with special cold packs to keep them from melting too.

Not yet, although they are planning to open one in Victor Harbor I do believe. They have them in Melbourne I know, but not here so far.

[stufi1997]

What about curry pot noodles:nah:Anyone know where to get them?....I know they're foul but that's the latest craving in our house!!!!:huh:

And caramacs, don't forget them!

You can get Thorntons Truffles in Myer by the way - but they cost a lot!

David Jones has a few pommy lollies, there are also shops in Hahndorf, Glenelg and the city that has eveything you can wish for, most Coles stores sells Tunnocks wafers, english WheetaBix and Marmite likewise some of the larger Foodland stores, if you go to NZ they have Walkers Chips in every store and Fiji also stock a lot of lollies that you cant get here, but chocolate is the same the world over, The Cadbury Tour in Tassie is very good but nothing beats Haighs Chocs on Greenhill Rd, we should buy local to keep local jobs and keep SA ticking over

[Rachiegarlo]

All hail to Haighs on Greenhill road, last visit left carrying rose creams, toffees, orange chocolate trial block and some freckles, supposedly for the kids but......I have a special relationship with Haigh's seconds counter there.
