I'm an expat and I need...

HP Sauce anyone?.. Lavazza Rossa Machina ..Looks for winsome icon..:(:(:(Y'e literally cant get Lavazza red in DC and I'm working on my plan on unreasonable world domination following lack of supply
 
Zorra! Thank you ever so ever so much!!!

Crumpets, Marmite and Pot noodle!!!! Thank you!!!

I have sent a PM but please let me know your address and I will send some Danish treats your way.
 
Anyone reliable and trustworthy willing to find/hunt down a book for me and send it over to me in Spain? Will send a bank transfer to cover the cost of all. I have friends and family who would do it for me, but they'd ask too many questions. ;)

Similarly, I could order it online, but there are complications. I've put in enquiries with local english language book stores to see if they'd be able to order said book in for me so this is just in case they fall through.

Pretty please? :)
 
Oh, dont worry about this ^ I've been able to get a bookstore here to order the book in for me but thanks for the influx of offers. :D:D

I want to know what the book is now :hmm:
 
Sorry, I did look in the supermarket, but the HP sauce was in a glass bottle, and didn't want to risk it in the post, will check out the other supermarket chain and see if they have the squeezy bottles, but if anyone else can sort this out in the meantime, it would be good.

And I've looked for beef and tomato pot noodles and pickled onion monster munch, and I can't get those over here either, sorry, and I looked for licorice allsorts, no joy there either. :(

I have got some Branston baked beans though. I'm sorry, I'm still boycotting Heinz after the capitulated to homophobic complaints about a tongue in cheek gay kiss (well, peck to the outside of the cheek, really) in an ad.
 
Okay, last call, I'm planning to go to the post office later today so now is your last chance...

So far, I have baked beans for derf, mushy peas for detroit city, and HP sauce for wanizame....

and I'm going to stop off at the souq for a mosque alarm clock for tufty, because I wrote the wrong address on the last parcel :oops:

Sorry, I looked, but still haven't been able to find pot noodles or monster munch etc :(
 
Okay, so it's October... which means that any expats needing Christmassy treats, like a Christmas pud or some Christmas crackers or whatever should speak out now and place their orders.

:)
 
Thanks again

After those wonderful baked beans, my wife has been asking around to see if anyone knows if they are to be had here.
Last week I was told of a shop about two hours away that stocks them.

Went and, sure enough, they have baked beans and kelloggs corn flakes.
Without your help I would not have found either. :)

Aw, bless 'er! :)

You're a muslim, so you don't want any Christmassy stuff I'm guessing, or do you? :hmm: Christmas pudding? :hmm:

I can send you some more baked beans and cornflakes, to save you making a two hour journey!

Thanks but I wander down there once a moth or so. That means I can grab a few tins to satisfy my lusting for them.
Thanks for the suggestion of the Christmassy stuff but I never liked it much even when I was in the UK. My Mum ruddy loves it and all the snap that goes with it.
 
only just remembered this thread as i am putting together a box of stuff for a pregnant friend in America who is having cravings for marmite and creme eggs

i shall thus be making a trip to the post office next saturday, so if anyone has any requests, let me know :)
 
this is a :cool: thread...

as I might be an ex-pat soon, I shall keep an eye on it with interest :)

also, willing to do some posting before I go!

I picked up a Wispa, a Starbar and some Frazzles.

The Co-op didn't have any Caramac, cola cubes or sweet peanuts. And sorry, I have looked for cheeseballs, but haven't found them either.

PM me your new(-ish) address as I only have your old address.

:)
