Hey, to get you excited(they have a giant UK section), altho Twiglets cost like $4.50 a packet there!:

I had to laugh at all that 'Merrye Olde Englande' stuff (although even at $4.50 a pack, Twiglets are among life's essentials and I'll have to go there just because of that!)... then I saw the word 'Wensleydale'. Mm, Wensleydale... any shop that sells that stuff has got to be a good thing. I meant to post that yesterday, that I'll be pining for Wensleydale* cheese once I get there... but maybe not. Yay! (and thank you!)

They have a giant animatronic Robin Hood, be very afraid. But they have the good cheddar! J & I bought some West Country cheddar (the Bristol in him says W.C. or bust) - it wasn't that big a chunk & yet cost $7. Damn.

Yep, I am very afraid, alright... whose benefit is that for?! The expat shoppers, going 'ahh yes, a giant animatronic Robin Hood, just like they had in my local M&S food hall - no I don't feel so homesick anymore!'....?

Still, they have cheese, and good cheese, and therefore I will most definitely be paying a visit (or several) - Robin Hood or no Robin Hood!

But they have the good cheddar! J & I bought some West Country cheddar (the Bristol in him says W.C. or bust) - it wasn't that big a chunk & yet cost $7. Damn.

Yikes...! Still, if it tastes like proper cheddar (as opposed to that strange stuff that bears the name 'cheddar' but is not even the most distant of relations to the kind you get in Somerset), it'd be well worth the money. Maybe I've just been unlucky with cheese over there, but all the so-called cheddar I've had from the supermarket has tasted powdery and had a really strange texture - there's definitely something in it that there shouldn't be!

Oh my hubby & I agree, altho he is MUCH snobbier about it than I am.
