As I am lucky enough to have access to a shop for American servicemen. So don't want for anything as they are well looked after!

My, my! Does MrCDV know that you have a weakness for American Servicemen CDV? "Looking after them well" too! [:O][:O];);)

:D

Have been in the trafford center in manchester today, and in the selfridges food hall they have a selection of US products, very overpriced considering they sell skippy for £2.75(small jar)walk to costco and pay £2.95 for the largest size:)

we live next to Mildenhall and Lakenheath airbases. Luckily we have American friends we have met through the children and school, so get to go shopping on base quite often...they even have a Taco Bell.

That's very interesting cos I did not even know that there was a Taco-Bell in the UK (Something that I have always felt should be corrected). What other shops are there and are they open to the general public or does one have to be accompanied by USAF personnel?

You have to be authorised to shop on the airbases and the general public cannot just walk in(Jon2211 was accompanied by an authorised person, that is generally ok). They have things lke Burger King, Popeyes, Baskin Robins etc. They normally have a very large grocery stores and the products are all the same as back in the US.

Thanks CDV. Is this "authorisation" process long and complicated or is it enough if you are vouched for by Lt.John Doe of the USAF? (Mind you, I haven't met him yet :))

Nostromo there used to be a place selling USA foods in Chippenham. I have not been there for sometime so I am not sure if it is still there. I think it was called 'Taste of America' and was in the Hathaway trading estate at the top (north) end of the High Street.

No Arun, it's nigh on impossible to get in unless you are with someone who is authorised to shop there.

Thanks for the info CDV. And Maureen, thanks to you too for the info on that American shop in Chippenham. I go there quite often since it is only a stone's throw from Calne, where I work. I'll check it out when I am there next.:)
