The 5 would probably achieve that!!

In that case, 63mm race bike and lycra.

we won’t be needing condoms…

do they have Mayo? (not that Mol will care as he hates mayo and salad cream)

what abt malt vinegar for chips?

Do they do TexMex fixings in the groceries?

passport, wallet, camera.

Cheers donsimon, though Carrefour Alcobendas is a bit of a drive for me – I end up ordering mail order from these guys: http://www.thefoodhall.es/

To the Grips: get out there, prebook a trip home in a month’s time, see what’s not available, and when you head back get it. There’s nothing critical you’ll need that you can’t get in Germany.

OMG! The Food Hall has these.

Cheers mogrim

Whatever you do when you’re there don’t try any of the local fare as you might just find it’s better than in the UK.

Ok, so Molly and erm…Jamie 😳

donsimon, you really not seen the food hall before??? What kind of expat are you?

There use to be a ‘British’ shop in Cologne, we visited every month for Walkers Crisps, McVities Digestives and Tetley Tea.

The only things I missed in Finland were tea and vinegar. Not because I refused the Finnish way but the Finnish way for chips is not to have vinegar, and the tea wasn’t to my taste 🙂

Jelly babies, Shreddies, and proper sausages are what my kids want when we are in Sweden. Oh Fish and Chips but they might not travel so well.
