Thanks, Cindy! We're cool.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Oh for those desperately seeking various British goods in the U.S. - have you tried an Indian (as in from India) shop? Most areas in the U.S. do have a substantial Indian population; and Indian shops generally carry a huge selection of British sweets, not to mention amazing bargains on spices, and the odd tin of marmite and vegamite.

The only American Nigel I've met was a cat, owned by an Anglophile.

You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes
YES! Loved those things. When I was with friends in Scotland, we bought some while on one of our little day trips, and we won a stuffed animal (whatever the thing was that came to steal the orangey goodness, I forget the name). Except we couldn't really win it becuase you had to have a UK mailing address! Mean!
And I can find Pims that are very similar, but are just not the same (and are like, $4 a box, so...).
Supposedly there's a British Store in northern Virginia, somewhere near where I used to live, but I never did find it...

All cats are British.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All cats are British.
Except the ones who are French.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I thought all cats were French.(well, at least according to Jon Carroll they are.) They understand English when it suits them to...

Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?
This is a bit belated and I can’t believe I’m gonna de-lurk over something as inauspicious as Smiths and their strange taste-experiments, but yes, the pie-flavoured chips do exist (or they do in my obscure Canberra-esque corner at least). The ads have been strangely persistent about it - they don’t really explain why we needed pie-chips, but there you go, ;).

Leigh! G'day! Stay delurked! Smiths Crisps are as good a reason as any.
Actually there's one company--I think it may also be Smith's--which has been advertising ham and cheese (?) flavoured chips. In the advert a bloke walks into a milk bar and asks for "one ham and cheese", so the milk bar lady cuts a packet of chips in half a la a sandwich.
