    We only pay £3 for Sweet Baby Ray's so you've getting the worst out of that deal.

    So many barbecue and steak sauces over there I don't know why anyone would buy HP Sauce.

    Steak sauces like A1 are horrible and BBQ sauces like Sweet Baby Ray's are OK for marinating/cooking with but too sweet on chips, egg 'n' beans. Gimme HP any day.

    Here's a new one today. After being closed almost a year Disneyland's California Adventure will reopen next month. A pass gets you entry to the park to wander around and meet characters, some food and stores will be open for you to purchase things, ALL rides will remain closed. A bargain at just $75 for the day for anyone over the age of 2

    Never been a big fan of it anyway TBH.

    Being in Seattle can't you get the Canadian versions of those foods cheaper?

    Yes they are much cheaper in Canada, especially British Columbia/Vancouver which is probably more British than most British cities these days. However, the border is 125 miles away, has been closed 12 months and is remaining closed because of COVID at least through the end of the year. Even if it's open, moving any goods across the border is considered smuggling and not sure if the average 1h wait to get across would make it worthwhile for a can of beans or bottle of sauce

    No I thought with NAFTA and everything your local shops could more easily and cheaply import that stuff from Canada and sell it at a lower price, rather than bring it all the way from the UK, but maybe the recipes are different.
