Talk about taking the p*ss....lol

[sandrajo]

We're off to visit my brother tomorrow in Spain and he asked if I could take over a few things for them:

5 packets tesco square sausage
5 mathesons hot and spicy
2 tubs suda creme
4 bottles treseme shampoo (big bottles)
and he just text me and asked if I see McCoys crisps at the airport can I get him some.....some people just take the p*ss don't they?

[cazzz1975]

My sister has lived in America for the past 20 years and on her list of goodies to be taken out are things like Heinz salad cream, Mcvities chocolate digestives and proper tea bags! lol

[hippyhoppy]

That is a bit excessive! Hwever my Mother-out-law lives in Majorca and, for example, a tiny slab of Seriously Strong Cheddar (200g) costs 10 Euros, where I can get it here from Asda 2 for the price of 1, large slab (500g), obviously 2 of, for 3 quid! So yes, they can get the stuff, it just costs a fortune. Just think about all the space in your luggage on your way home you can fill up with cheap booze/fags/perfume etc...

Honestly it used to be 6 loafs of plain bread but she bought a bread maker (thank god) my case is over everytime I visit..

My sister was over in February and had to buy a large holdall (sp?) to take back all the extras!

At least you know you will have plenty of room to bring goodies back with you lol

Cant argue with sudacreme brillient stuff
When I lived in the United States 25 years back I craved for Colemans mustard, marmite ,tetley tea bags,bovril, germoline!! pork pie (never got one of those) there must have been many other things but thatll do for now...oh just thought, my communication back to the UK was by airmail letter which took up to a week. 25 years later Im tapping and sending messages all over the world, truthfully I am gobsmacked at the technology
