billytea, you thoroughly rock. Bookmarked for miles.
Hee. You're welcome. And I've just remembered that I have a packet of Wagon Wheels in the kitchen...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
The grocery store not two minute's walk from my house has an entire section of UK imports: McVit's chocoalte digestives, steam puddings, weetabix, smarties, and every flavour of Cadbury's choc known to the First World.
But no tim tams.

That's really quite impressive. I'm in a desert as far as such matters are concerned. (Though BBC America has just recently started selling British goods through their website. I still have stuff left over from my last birthday, including the aforementioned Wagon Wheels, so there's no rush.)

Well, I can send you a care package from SF, if you'd like.

You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes. And Lion Bars and Time Outs.

I never really got into the Jaffa Cakes gestalt, because of the texture of the cookies as they hit that orange filling. But McVits choc digestives?
Squeeeeeee-yum.
Oh, and those little salt and vinegar bags of crisps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
those little salt and vinegar bags of crisps.
Mmmm. Best crisps ever. Must go shopping at the Brit store in Santa Monica this weekend.

Smoky bacon is the one true crisp.

Jumping back to the Millman comments for a moment, she gave me something to show friends and say, "See there's more to Buffy than vampire slaying". My brother and I watched Buffy from the start though, just hoping it would be good. There's something about vampire shows, we loved The Lost Boys and the Kindred series had potential. Ultraviolet from the UK had a unique medical perspective on the vamp phenomenon.
I always wondered if anyone here was into those as well?

I can probably find them here, but I haven't looked; there's a wonderful international deli or three in the area, (Haig's in particular, with their halvah and homemade hummus and all the Cadbury stuff as well), and surely one of them must have those crisps.
They really are the best crisps ever.
