Any U.K. Tb'ers want to do a fellow Bass player a solid?

I would very much love it if someone in the U.K. would accept a Paypal payment from me in exchange for some Jelly Babies and Smarties sent to me in the post!!!

You have Smarties in Canada.

If you want a better option than Smarties, go with Minstrels from the UK, or Cadbury choclate easter eggs.

They have put the blue ones back in though...

I liked the old tubes better though. They had the caps with the letters on, although no one knew whether they were supposed to be for anything. And you could rip the bottom out of the tube, then put it on a table, smack it with your hand, and you had an instant cannon!

There has been a lot about that in the News - how UK customs are stopping any foodstuffs coming through!

Meh, not too bothered about that, it was the instant cannon i loved. And why did you take the bottom off? If you left the whole thing in tact then it worked far better

+1,


Anyway, I on't think you can post foodstuffs anymore, you need someone who is actually coming to the US.

Im sure you can still post, as there is a number of websites which specifically sell foodstuffs which arent avalible in the UK etc. (big red, jolly ranchers and mountain dew, oh yes!)

I wept when the blue ones were left out. I still haven't forgiven them for changing the tube
