Anyone seen any tins of Roses or Quality Street chocolates in the North?

Most supermarkets have boxes not sure about tins. I saw some in Supreme. Much more expensive than U.K. though

Bit expensive to go to UK to get them though. They sell them in supermarkets in the South, €5.90 (37-38TL) for approx. 600g, still expensive if you have to make a special trip but if you know anyone who's already going they'll be cheaper than buying in the North. We got a box of Quality Street, it seemed to be half empty

A few years ago you wouldnt have been able to buy anything like that now you are moaning about the price. Add on import costs and duty thats why the price difference. WE ARE NOT IN THE UK ANY MORE!

Bought round tub from south a few weeks ago, half empty, or was it half full....can't make my mind up. Anyway, seems like more money goes on packaging than on content. It didn't last long...

So very true, and that's why we love it here, warts and all. It is lovely to have the choice now, as in me buying Marmite last week. Now if I could find a Turkish jar of yeast extract, that would do me just fine, so long as it didn't taste like Vegemite.
