8pints Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have stumbled into a shop known as "The British Aisles". The purchase of HP Sauce is a given. Are there any other UKian things that VT recommends I purchase? Ask them for Tartan paint and a long stand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Back in June last year I put a claim in for some PPI (the bank actually contacted me to tell me I may be owed some) they said no at first but they have sent me a letter to say that I am actually owed £135, I have heard that you should go through the FOS procedure and you almost always end up getting more. Anyone else gone through this, should I just take the money or should I pursue it through the financial ombudsmen service? My sister got over £4000 back from PPI. She thinks we don't know when she claims poverty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have stumbled into a shop known as "The British Aisles". The purchase of HP Sauce is a given. Are there any other UKian things that VT recommends I purchase? Percy/Penny pigs - though it's unlikely they'll get those wholesale. Tell us what brands of tea they have. Biscuit Boost Actually any chocolate from Europe really.Walkers or Golden Wonder cheese and onion crisps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 So I've had an overdraft and credit cards in the past so how do I know if I'm owed money? Free money would be quite pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 PG Tips is the bog standard, Taylors a step up and Fortnum & Mason at the luxury end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Percy Pigs aren't as good as the original Dutch version. To be honest, a lot of Dutch treats seem tasty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyNJeupXRaA Because my real name is Dutch, do I count as a Dutch Treat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Tea brands: Miles, English Garden, Thompson's, Fortnum & Mason, Barry's, Glengettie, Ridgway's, Typhoo, Taylors of Harrogate, Twinnings, PG Tips, Tetley Taylors of Harrogate, aka Yorkshire Tea. Lovely stuff! Having a cup now, Twinings Everday and English Breakfast is also very good. I think Typhoo is from Brum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are templates of the letters online find one change the relevant details and send it off. I wouldn't have bothered with it unless the bank sent me a letter actually telling me to claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Tunnocks Caramel, Sherbert Lemons, McVities (Chocolate) Hobnobs, (Chocolate) Digestives and Rich Tea biscuits. Do NOT attempt a rich tea biscuit without a cup of tea - they just don't work undipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Don't you dare list rich tea alongside hobnobs and digestives. You're a bloody disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think Xann wants you to buy the whole shop, Levi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) In response to AchtPinten. Liquorice is disgusting but the cars are bearable. Never had that chocolate before but no Dutch chocolate I've ever had has beaten Cadburys. Crisps are just disgusting in any country. She missed Chocomel, the greatest chocolate milk in the World, no question. Poffertjes - like mini pancakes, topped with butter and icing sugar Pepernoten - little speculaas biscuity-things Hagelslag - basically sandwich sprinkles, comes in all different types of chocolate and in different shapes. You get multi coloured sugar sprinkles too. And then there are the non sweet things. Frikandellen - A sausage made from a mix of meats, particularly horse. . Slice one down the middle, fill with chopped onions and a good dose of Bereklauw (bear claw) - The idea is that a big meatball with large slices of onion in it looks like a bear's paw... though in this picture it doesn't. Usually served with peanut sauce but peanut anything is disgusting. Anyway... that's not the first time you've shown me her videos.. who is she?

packoman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Poffertjes - like mini pancakes, topped with butter and icing sugar Do they come with a mini shmoke? Edited March 17, 2014 by packoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think Xann wants you to buy the whole shop, Levi. Nah, the Yanks do fabulous junk food, but their sweets (candy) and cheese are generally suspect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
