C&A are still going. They closed all their UK shops; but still have stores in Europe. ;-)

When Woolies went bust, somebody bought out the company name, etc and used it as the basis for an online retailer. I don't think it's the same though. ;-)

Are savoury ducks the same as faggots? There are any number of independent butchers making and selling their own faggots even in the south of England. Yummy.

I used to love the Ambrosia creamed rice, which you can still get and liked Gypsy Creams (I´d forgotten about them).

I would miss Woolworths if I still lived in the UK but I had got used to it not being around.Mind you when I was back in Sheffield I fell in love with that B&M store, so that would do me ;-)

Okay I have wracked my brains and I can´t think of anything I miss that I can´t get now :-) Easily pleased eh ? ;-)

There is a butchers in the nearest town that does Savoury Ducks but no where near as good and these are just solid lumps of meat which they shouldn't be.

I have a good mind to take him the old recipe....

OOOOH Chelsea Buns are delicious, Whirled around light pastry type with some spice and currents and topped with some sugar crystals Was sort of a dough pastry.

Never had as good ones as out local baker made ,

I do sometimes succumb at the supermarket but they always disappoint
