oh and Patricia, we have monoprix et al, but you have HOBNOBS !!! i love hobnobs. the last time i flew i had to change planes in heathrow, and i was so excited because it meant i could get HOBNOBS !! sadly, all they had were minature hobnobs with the chocolate on one side. those are good too but i prefer the original ones. full-size, no chocolate.
a few months ago i discovered a pub that had recently opened on the canal near my house ; in the shopfront adjoining it they have an english and irish grocery store where they sell things like lemon curd and heinz baked beans and scones mix and cadbury chocolate. i went rushing inside to stock up on hobnobs only to learn (from Jimmy, in a glorious scottish accent) that they had no more hobnobs ; "everbody likes hobnobs, so they go quick. i like hobnobs too. i wish we had some. i could eat some right now."
since i discovered it, every time i go past that place i go inside to look for hobnobs. only once they had some, so i bought 3 packages. they're long gone though. *sigh*
Taylor : thanks for the explanation. i don't know that game.
