05.09 WANTED: Bisto Gravy!

Expats take stock, and eat stock!

When we last saw Sam & Dan, they gave us some lovely gifts, one of which was a jar of Bisto Gravy. We couldn't believe our luck when we were given this very rare commodity! Unfortunately, we loved it so much that we've almost run out. The gravy here in oz is very different to the stuff you can get at home, it doesn't thicken! Not even the BrandPower lady has an answer!! And its not even in the 'english' section of the supermarket either :(

08.07 WANTED: Rough 'n' Ready Clay

Hair products have been a bit of an issue. None of the major brands here do a '2 in 1' shampoo, not even Pantene, or 'pan-teen' as its pronounced here!? This could be one of the reasons why there is such a serious water shortage problem, although the recent rainfall has eased the situation and stage four restrictions may not be implemented. There is one company that a 2 in 1 shampoo, but its called Pert or Peet, which is a little too close to Veet and we know what happens if you accidentially apply that!

09.06 WANTED: Marmite

Actually this request is a lie as we have now found a reputable dealer for Marmite, although it has been renamed to 'Our Mate'. That almost threw us I can tell you! We have also received a couple of 'official' jars from the very generous Lynn!
