    Yes, I've had a few of those while we were honeymooning in Scotland.

    No, I haven't found a local supplier.

    Yes, that's a good thing, as I've lost about 16 pounds in the time since we got back.

    No, I haven't had any of my kilts retailored - yet.

    Yes, I expect to have them retailored, as I'm supposed to end up six inches smaller around the gut by the time I've lost the 70 pounds total that I'm supposed to - by the end of February.

    No, I don't want to know where I can buy Tunnock's Caramel Wafers anywhere in the United States. That would be bad.

    I'm going to have to check the World Market Plus joint out in our suburbs...they seem to have a huge supply of imported (UK) candy.

    Don't know, Caradoc, if they have stores in your area but it's worth a shot.

    No... it isn't.

    19.2 lbs so far. Maybe in three months I'll buy ONE.

    Well, if I find one, I'll send it to you and you can put it aside as "incentive".

    I see those Tunnock bars all the time in supermarkets but unless they are on a BOGOF offer I usually resist temptation

    Just a cursory search of the internet reveals this...but you'll notice...

    ...that the obscure object of desire is marked "SOLD OUT"!

    ...how odd...

    Who'd have thunk it, the humble caramel wafer being so popular..

    Tunnocks also make Snowballs and Caramel Logs both of which are nice with a cup of tea too.

    MacT, there is a Tunnocks wafer on my desk, at home. I can't bring myself to eat it, because then it will be gone.

    Oh, for Ghu's sake...

    You just HAD to put that link in, didn't you?

    If you hadn't, I would not know that they make a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer in DARK CHOCOLATE...

    If it weren't for the bloody rules about bloody name-calling on the bloody forum, I'd have some expletives for you! :buttkick:

    (If anyone comes looking for me, I'll be under my desk hugging my knees and rocking back and forth for a bit.)
