Makro and similar stores compete pretty well though on prices, but they
don't stock the trade jars, iirc.  Which is a shame.  Looks like I'll have
to wander up there tomorrow if I'm up to it, for the Red Cross package I'm
building for Bob.  Should have thought of that originally, instead of
messing around with Tesco's...

Everyone has to have a hobby, I suppose...!?

Ha!  You deviant!  Philistine!  Luddite! (and so forth).  Daddy's will
always be superior, oh unenlightened one. (snigger).  Still, what do you
expect from someone who prefers cheese toasties to bacon butties... :-P

Can't say I've noticed them on the scratchings, only peanuts to be honest.
I think we should ask Howard on this one, being our resident expert witness.

ROFLMAO.... Oh, that's a superb description, love it!  Actually, on some of
the lesser (?) brands, you'll be treated to the odd hair or two still
attatched - I swear.  Just hope the Eurocrats in Brussels don't try messing
with it, like they tried to with blue cheese...

Ya gotta take the rough with the smooth... <g>

Also, although Bob won't be receiving any of this, check out Sainsbury's
Brandy and something flavoured ice cream (think it's chocolate).  That's
superb stuff.  And of course there is the Haagen Das Bailey's flavour.
