England's Crackers



They're called "Bon-Bons" in some places. It's evident that the place I was born in no longer exists.

  1. Ha, I remember those things. I've never seen them in Canada though. 15 quid??

    If all the safety silliness is getting to you, you should take a trip to the Netherlands on New Years. Glorious madness.

  3. We had them in Montreal a couple of days ago, although a couple of the people at dinner had never seen them before.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
