I live here in London too - but I still find your consumer goods reviews fascinating! Keep it up!

Sometimes I really like buying supermarket home-brands, like Tesco teabags and tinned chopped tomatoes :) Makes me feel good that I'm saving money! But for importantstuff like ketchup and soft drinks, I only buy 'branded'!

Heh heh.

Well I am sure you will be dissapointed to hear that the new Monopoly - The Here & Now Limited Edition no longer contains Marylebone Station. All of London's train stations has been replaced by airports. Mind you, £2m for Heathrow is still pretty cheap.

Coke here is a little different from those sold in Malaysia. There is a sense of bitterness I couldn't remember tasting in bottled Coca Colas when I was in KL.
