Looking at all those food pictures reminds me I really need to go to the British store.

Publix has a decent selection of stuff too though, but no toffee crisp

whooooo hoooooooooooooo it's friday.

so far today no one has mentioned the dreaded word 'Saturday' so I think i get to sleep for the whole weekend!!! I just have to keep remembering that every penny here, is two cents there, so it's worth it.

I'm making a curry tonight. I've realised I have to fit in as many curries as possible before moving to the US; where curries and curry pastes are far less plentiful!

Whaaaa? Which Publix do you go to? All the ones I've been to are horrible.

Good afternoon everybody.

Good afternoon. It's almost hometime!

One of my colleagues has just put LA Kings tickets in my grubby mitts knowing I am a HUGE hockey fan. First row on the ice - YAY!!!!!!!

Although I am sure LA hockey fans are not a patch on Detroit hockey fans

We're down in Palm Beach County. There are three around here, with varying levels of brit-food.

Maybe decent was a little too generous, but they do have things like Mars Bars, Lion Bars, Chocolate Hobnobs, Robinsons squash, HP sauces, A couple of those colemans packets, Heinz Beans, some pickled onions, Branstons Pickle, Liquorice allsorts and several other things.

Found a great place when we were down in key west, but it was very expensive.

Maybe you'll see blood on the plexi in front of you!

PS: I got free Clippers tickets from work for March (not the same, but still).

I am hoping a fight breaks out right in front of me.

I laughed out loud at that bolded bit.

Yep, your Publix definitely has more products than my Publix. We have one of the HP sauces but it's not the real stuff. I'm up in Lake. But, funny.... we were down in PB County a couple of weeks ago for a wee vacation with my rellies from W Yorkshire. Didn't go into the Publix though.

Yeah. We've kinda lucked out with those items. I guess there must be a lot of brits down here. There used to be a British pub just down the road, but it's gone now. There's still a few around though, although the ones I know of are further south in the Miami and Ft Lauderdale areas.

There is a British store in Lake Worth (a few miles from us) but we've not been yet. It was closed the days we could get there out of season and we only discovered it in the summer. We'll make it there one day.

My brother and sister-in-law are police officers in Lake (small world!)...my Publix in S Orlando has about a 10-foot section in the ethnic/international aisle...not too bad...
