I dont give a toss about the cash, as long as my black pudding gets here. As for customs, the mrs was picked up years ago for having about 1 kilo of mattsaman curry paste in her carry on, ffs as if its possible to hijack a plane with curry paste. Head back downstairs check in her bag of curry paste, even the airline check in staff couldnt believe it.

More worrying is I can't find anywhere to buy Bisto gravy and I used the last of what we brought back from the UK yesterday. ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/6207754/images/ldQj4UZzEPa4bmNJUgtH.jpg)

Bunter's dear boy, they usually have Bisto in stock, or if you're really desperate, Tesco Lotus have Tesco onion gravy granules in stock as a normal line too, not a bad drop of gravy either. Have a butchers below. www.buntersfoodsbkk.com. ![]()

Have a butchers below. www.buntersfoodsbkk.com. ![]() Bunters seem to have been out of stock for months now. Every time I order from them I select Bisto on my order form. Every time they deliver my other stuff but there is no bisto ![LOL](//storage.proboards.com/6207754/images/7WqwXnsEcase2oKDoa3y.png) Had an email once saying they were out of stock.
I asked in BigC yesterday and the guy looked at me as though I came from Mars, even with a picture on my phone from their own online store ![LOL](//storage.proboards.com/6207754/images/7WqwXnsEcase2oKDoa3y.png) As BigC seem to have the Onion gravy online (Brown bisto packet), I'll try ordering online from them instead but not holding my breath. Prefer the original red packet though
Have looked a few times in Tesco in person but not found any. There's none on their online shopping either.
What does the Tesco Lotus gravy granule version look like? Never seen any, but have looked. Also none online

Big C Mega Bang Na, I have adopted a shoot on sight policy, if I see it I buy it, the whole lot.
Should I be concerned, was in Pattaya the other week bougt 3 x 350g packs of Cathedral City chesse, the mrs has munched her way through two of the packs, dispels the myth that Thais dont eat cheese, I fear she has become to westernised.
I go downstairs in the morning, she is sat with a mobile phone and i pad on the go, glass of orange juice, mug of coffee, yoghurt and a sannie laid out in front of her, none of your jok rubbish for her, she is eating me out of house and home, please advise, I fear I have created a monster.
