I remember brandy, sherry and port. Then the poor old memory fails.

I met a gal at my new job today and she is from Engand. In fact, she plopped down on the picnic table where I was eating lunch with another co-worker. Well she had a candy bar that did not have an American looking wrapper. It turned out to be from England. She HAS heard of wine gum (used to eat it in the movie theater, she said). And she said you haven't lived until you have eaten (sorry if my memory is wrong) a "Flake" candy bar? Is that right? Turns out the specialty grocery store next to my workplace has an English section where you can get candy from across the pond, but not wine gum (which I also thought was gum). Happy last day of June, everyone. No package here yet. I'm guessing it's stuck in Canada, perhaps?
