Biereventre Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hyper U in Montmorillon (86) have just started an English shelf with such delights as Piccalilli They've got other bits like Birds custard powder, Bisto gravy and McVites digestives as well but no Fullers London Pride As you'd expect, all items are at premium prices so we'll carry on our exchange system with guests.Guess it’s just a sign of the times.Paulhttp://www.unique-crafts-from-france.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorejw Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 When we saw Baked Beanz in our Intermarche with the 39p price flash on them I wondered if the checkout girl would accept 39p! Needless to say the Euro price was a bit more. Most of our local supermarkets now have 'foreign' shelves (not just English) and we have a new Epicerie Anglaise opened up in St Savinien. Mind you, there are plenty of French shops in UK - but mostly selling to locals not expat French people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
