Hey Mucky - I did offer to take Blair - given I was taking so much other stuff, I thought I'd be able to fit him into the container

I asked for one of those boxes to hold tea for Christmas. The wooden ones with the separate compartments for various types of tea bags.

Chorley Cakes beat Eccles Cakes - Chorley is another small town not far from Eccles; but prefer Bakewell Tart - Bakewll is a small town not far from Eccles.

When my husband made business trips to London, this is what we'd ask him to bring home for us:

Walker's Crisps (Ready Salted and Salt & Vinegar flavours)
Yorkshire Gold Tea
demarara sugar
Blue Stilton cheese

We never could narrow it down to just one item!

I would like to take the money I spent. At £1.00 = $2.00 that £7 pizza is a little more expensive than it looks!!

Oy vey... I agree with Bob Brown... am still recovering from our visit last year. As to what I'd like to take.... that would be a classic Burberry raincoat. My husband bought one in Harrods in '88 and it's still good as new.
Can't find anything like it at any price now in NYC... Burberry has gone veddy, veddy trendy. sigh.....

Definitely clotted cream and real scones...

Hugh Grant, possibly. Although I prefer Jason Carter. Or Alistair McKenzie (DROOL)

REAL cadbury. Yes, Hershey's definitely doesn't do it right.

Men in kilts. Oh, wait, that's Scotland!

A total lack of Polonium 210 anywhere on my body, or personal articles, or on my British Airways aircraft.
