Bit incorrect. Shows your age :P

What you know as 'Mighty Munch' were 'Monster Munch' here in Ireland for years.

In the 90s, Walkers started selling crisps here (They had their own Monster Munch)

To avoid confusion, they bought the rights to the name Monster Munch in Ireland.

Our Monster Munch then became Mighty Munch.

I seem to be the only person who was bothered by this :pac:

I remember the change well but what threw me for a loop was that they have the same monsters on the packs that Mighty Munch (nee Monster Munch) had back in the day. I bought them expecting to savor their spicy goodness and was left with a pack of hard little corn things that taste like they fell out of Harneys arse. Avoid at all costs

Soda bread, potato farls, buttermilk... I can count on one hand the shops in London that sell them.

We also don't have British editions of Irish newspapers, like the Sunday World or the Sunday Tribune.

I'm surprised we haven't had an argument over whether Northern Ireland is part of Britain, and I ain't going to start one!

So, to answer your question: not sure.

there's many a toothless simpleton around england. or as they would say, toofless.
one thing that's bloody hard to get in england is a nice cup of tea. i used to bring tea over with me when i was going back, and still bring it over when going to see friends.

they have the first 4, only they don't tend to re-elect them. peter mandleson, jeffrey archer, lord ashcroft and a few others being fine examples. as kent brockman said, democracy just doesn't work.

I really missed soda bread when I was living in Wales. One day I thought I'd try to make my own and couldn't find buttermilk anywhere....oh well.

My family used to send me over Barrys tea, taytos and Old Time marmalade. My local Co-Op sold the Irish Times, I know I could read it online for free but I liked having a physical copy of the paper.
