He wasn't one to bear a grudge my grandfather but it was something to do with Churchill being the Home Secretary that turn live-firing troops on strikers in the General Strike of 1926... the happiest day of his life was 25th January 1965 - the day he found out that he'd outlived Winnie.

With part of my family in The USA I visit regularly New York and now Dallas. There is great affection for the English among those people I meet. My daughter has long appreciated the value of retaining her English accent over the past 20 plus years. Enthusiasm for British shaving products surprises me not at all. As to customer service, the standard in the USA is excellent, the standard here is generally appalling. So it amazes me that it could be a factor in the popularity of British goods.
Mmm, Couldn’t ask when your planning on going again could I. That Nancy boy sounds like it’s worth a try...
I will be off to Dallas in the spring next year. Having said that, I recall Fozz offering to help out with getting any items not shipped to the UK by American suppliers.

They sometime have deals. I know I have picked up 2x100ml bottles of Opus for £40 for the pair and they often have the EF shaving soap in the bowls for about £20.
I think there is one EF original formulation soap left plus BB soap all in bowls I'm afraid, it's not cheap but it is special, point the Mrs or the kids in this direction for Xmas, you will not be disappointed.
pgachapman said:Hi. I just bought a puck of english fern yesterday in TK MAXX for £9.99. After reading up about this stuff and its saying english fern on my puck that it was the better formulation.
Well, I tried to shave with it this morning but couldnt get a lather from it at all. I tried different brushes I have from badger, hog and synthetic and even tried to bowl lather it. Still nothing. All I get is a thin bubbly mess that dissapears faster than Captain kirk on the transporter pad.
I tried soaking the puck in hot water for a while. Tried a dry puck with wet brush. Still bad. I have a soft water area too by they way.
Just thinking now if I have the old dud stuff and wasted my tenner.
Any thoughts
Peter
