Lads, after work, I am going to buy the contents of a food parcel to send to the sister in Australia.  A taste of home hamper for christmas

I don't want to send big pots of jam or bottles of red lemonade, as they are too heavy and will shoot up the postaging costs.

Any ideas?

Kimberleys, Mikados, Barrys tea bags, taytos.  Can't really think of anything else.  Any ideas?

Overthebar!

not sure if you would get away with it but sausages!
brown sauce isn't massive over there either. potato/soda bread?
a wee nip of whisky? bout all i can think of- maybe some chocolate!

Yeah replace that muck with Lyons and King
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Have you watched that show on Sky about the Australian Customs? They dont let food across the border, they seem to be very strict on it. You might get away with Whiskey etc, but I reckon any food items will end up in the incinerator.

You wont have a prayer of getting most food items through - that nothing to declare show shows them strict as hell.

I'm posting it, not taking it through the airport.  Surely this should be ok

The Customs operate in the Post office sorting offices. They are nearly as bad as the Yanks, i would not waste your time or money.
