My fiancee brings tons of me when she comes to Canda, but can't really bring tons of drinks as they ae very heavy and there's a lot of duty tax on it. So, that's why just looking for drinks Wink, but thanks for info, I'll do check the bulk barn to see what kind of alien chocolates they host, lol.  Grin

There is tax on alcohol, but not groceries like Vimto?

Not so alien at B Barn Smiley 

Some of the staff are, but not the food.

Sorry, that canme out wrong. She has to pay for extra weight because imagine few Vimto bottles, that add quite a bit of weight to the baggages. That's what i meant.

And I will try to find this other alien stuff at B barn as well;)

So, my dad is coming to visit for Christmas and I have asked him to bring a Christmas pudding with him (M&S of course!).  However, my evil step-mother has apparently called the airline and has been told he can't bring it. Angry

Anyone know if she's right???

"EVIL STEP MOTHER" lol... hahaha! sorry if i offend you but i found it funny and laughed heartedly! Grin

In the UK (many years ago as a kid) we had silver threepenny pieces placed in the Christmas pudding, if you got one, our parents would swap it for "real money".
So we ate our pudding very slowly, and always seemed to get at least one each Smiley

Maybe you should start a variation on this theme - add a few washers to the parents mix without informing them [insert evil laughter here]

Not sure the step-monster would go for "you found a threepenny, give me $20"!!  I like the washer idea though
