A taste of home for those who can escape
It looks like all our posts on and from the UK have caught the attention of some online shops. I’m getting very polite emails - “please consider exchanging links with our web site, for our mutual benefit” - from a number of American companies that specialize in British products. They all have a variety of merchandise, though a large part of it is candy and food. So if you’re from Over There and you somehow wind up Over Here, be at ease. Just a few clicks of the old mouse and you can still get your Frazzles bacon flavored crisps, your Digestives, your Walker’s Christmas Pudding, and all the John West kippers you can handle. Tea by Barry’s, PG Tips, Lyons, Taylors, etc. And the full line of Radox bath products. Can’t leave the Fairy Soap behind you know! Naturally they also carry a variety of meat pies, bangers, Danish bacon, ginger beer, shandy, and barley water. You can find all of their Indian products at much lower prices at any Indian market here, along with most of the tea brands.
After all, this is America, and we’ll sell anything to anyone. It’s what we do, and we learned it from you.
Reading these sites is making me hungry. Are these good brands? I don’t know. But I’m tempted to order a little here and there, just to see.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
