daniel_f   10 #39 Posted October 10, 2005 I have japanese students stay over with me whilst they learn english. I now have to send 16 bottles a quarter over to Japan, which they send me the funds for.  Now tell me they'd do that for Worcester sauce!!! Pah!

mr chris   10 #40 Posted October 10, 2005 Does Sheffield have some sort of trade embargo with the US, as I just looked on the Hendersons website and they'll ship it to everywhere but the land of the (apparently) free!!  Hmmm.....

All foodstuffs which are imported to the land of the free have to have a license or something to prove they are safe and known brand and not poison or something illegal. And Hendersons ( or the export people thisissheffield.com or whatever they are called ) isn't a big enough exporter to afford to pay for this. So that's the reason.

mr chris   10 #42 Posted October 10, 2005 That actually does make sense.  I was wondering if we were still at war with them or something, kind've like Berwick Upon Tweed still being at War with Russia (they never signed a peace agreement, so the war still stands lol).  I'm off to America next month so I just want to check I'm not going to be arrested for being a War Criminal or something...

RichMason   10 #43 Posted October 10, 2005 I'm thinking of making up a henderson's gift pack for xmas for all my family back up in the north east - for such a cult item do you think that Hendersons might already do such a thing?
