KOOL MINTS

So, what's this all about? See here
Is there a complete list? See here


For reasons gone into more fully on the main blog we were in London on Tuesday last week and took the opportunity to make our way to Henrietta Street in Covent Garden. Except that the Australia Shop has moved to the next Street since I was last there.

The Australia Shop (online) is one of the shops promoted in the Side Bar. I've not bought on line from any of them and I've only visited the London one in person and my endorsement of that one can't be whole-hearted.

Because, damn it, they don't sell KOOL MINTS and frankly that isn't good enough. Neither for that matter is their failure to stock proper Milo (rather than the African stuff they can get hold of, and which tastes truly god-awful). They can stock Twisties (ok) and Burger Rings (ew) and Polly Waffles (no basis for comment, never ever eaten one) but NO KOOL MINTS.

£1.00 a bottle for VB is okay stacked gainst £1.25 for Germany-brewed 275 ml bottles of Becks, but NO KOOL MINTS is totally unacceptable.

I'm going to have to work out whether it would be cheaper to buy my KOOL MINTS directly from OZ or via the USA because at least one of the US online shops listed to the left claims to have KOOL MINTS in stock.

I had to buy boxes of consolation TEE VEE Snacks and a pack of chocolate teddy bear biscuits.
