NicTurtle Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am not well traveled enough to know if there is anything UK only that I'd want. I'll ask around to my friends that have been there. I'll hopefully get to experience some fun stuff in Ireland that would give me ideas for future trades. Or maybe even a bit of money from there so my daughters could see what foreign currency looks like. They'd probably love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povodny Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I dunno someone mentioned elsewhere you cant get vimto abroad I was just adding trivia about the product lol.. I've no idea if it can be bought abroad, my bro-in-law used to be a high flyer in the company and I know they were looking to sell abroad. Not sure about the import duty in the US, I'm under the impression it's quite high on things manufactured outside the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacific4130 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi, New to the forum but I have to say - great idea for a thread! I was born in Canada and lived there as a young child so there's lots of things I can't get in the UK that I'm nostalgic for... Top of the list is Kraft Dinner - I love the stuff! It can be bought in the UK from a couple of places but at a ridiculous price. Shipping usually costs a lot to get it sent from Canada/US, and online sellers wont split the packs down - it's only the powdered cheese bit I want, I can just use regular dry macaroni from my local shop. Why oh why don't kraft sell the powder in bulk form? So if anyone wants to swap UK/Canadian stuff let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the first I've heard of it... my Aunt and Uncle live very close to there (I was born and lived until 8 in London) so I'll see if they can get some. Hmmm... It's always hard to recommend things from your own country. It's so easy to take things for granted as you get used to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
