Popular Post champers Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 In Central Festival on the basement floor; a new store selling beauty products is being readied in its place. A fond reminder of home for many Brits though prices here were prohibitively high for many. They did sell the best Jaffa cakes in Pattaya. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Never mind Jaffa cakes, I'm waiting for Siamburi's to get their next shipment of Warburton's crumpets. Just a thought - do M&S do crumpets here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to buy the mini digestive biscuits at my local 7/11 in rural Kamphaeng Phet, until they ran out and never restocked. I tried some of the chocolate digestives which if kept in the fridge had to be chiseled apart or kept outside the fridge ended up as a sticky mass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happens to them when they melt a bit on the way back from the shop (I mean the stuck together issue) the solution is to get back as quick as possible, so not to buy them during a big shop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, underwear was good, some men's suits etc not bad at all, serviceable for work. Then I went back to the UK 2 years ago and I was shocked by the lack of choice and the quality and that was in their Victoria store in London. They have really gone downhill in everything but their food. Mind you, I did stock up on underwear. Good ness only knows what happens when they wear out, as a small mouse couldn't get its tackle into Thai XL underwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenon Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It must be an ingrained Brit thingy. I didn't "get it" at all. And expensive as the cherry on top. Sorry for your loss my Brit brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it dates back to moving the factories out of the UK to Asia during the 90s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
