Good but NOT from England/Britain

I have a good friend who lives in Britain, so THAT is how I found out about Cadbury Flakes, she sent me a bunch of them and I got seriously hooked! However, packages kept costing over $50 to send! So I saw these and decided to try it. The packaging is NOT from Britain, it's in a whole 'nuther language, so I opened it and tried it anyways and I PROMISE you, I compared the TRUE cadbury flake to this one and there really wasn't too much difference in taste, you'll find that most chocolate will taste like it may have melted a bit somewhere along the way, UNLESS you pay about $30 extra to send it overnight in a cold package (trust me, I do that often with chocolates from CT to TX)
I would (and am again) purchase this, it's still better than (one of my faves) Hershey chocolates and beats the cadbury products we have here. Maybe it's the texture, but it's pretty good PLUS I save an extra $50 just by ordering it from here.

I made a mistake when ordering this version of Band on the Run.  I was looking forward to the Archive Collection version of Band on the Run, but was disappointed when I popped it into the CD player and the tracks were different.  This is the European version released in Great Britain, not the American version and Helen Wheels is absent.

Sadly, it does take away from all the good stuff.  It has excellent packaging, great booklet of photos/liner notes, but I bought this back in the day when it was first released...in America.  I love the American version, miss it.

So...be prepared.  If you're American or used to the American track listing, this isn't it.

I wouldn't have bought it if I had taken the pains to carefully review the track listing.

Fairly good story but can't tell if the writer is British and trying to write an American story or American and trying to sound British.  Sort of a surprise who the main character is - good viewpoint.

Unless you are familiar with a Cockney English accent you probably will not understand some of the conversations ... particularly those of the kitchen staff.  While I am fond of many British productions, I will not purchase any more in the future unless they have English subtitles.  I should add, I am not hard of hearing.

It's quite interesting to see how reviews for british bands written by american critics and fans compare to, well, the british equivalent.

Being British myself, and having seen Idlewild play last night in Nottingham my review is totally biased as I'm still buzzing off of how amazing they are.

First of all my opinion of this album: Divine follow up to 100 Broken windows with Idlewild in more reflective and emotive mood. There is a definite depth to this album that exceeds previous works whilst maintaining the trademark riffing and power melodies. American English is a damp squib, in fact it's dire. This raises the point I'm making about the difference in opinion from either side of the pond. US opinion generally states that "American English" is a soaring rock classic (unsurprising from the largest concentration of Nickelback fans in the world). Britsh opinion is generally that it's generic and tiresome. That is the only criticism of the whole album I have as I love every single track other than "American English".

the REM analogies are frequent either side of the Atlantic but I don't really see the massive connection. To say that Roddy Woomble has looked to Michael Stipe for lyrical inspiration is basically laughable. From Early work like Captain, Hope Important and 100 Broken Windows through to this album and their new release "Warning/Promises" the lyrical ingenuity has always been clearly lauded towards contemporary and classical Scottish poets, although structurally I admit to some similarities to REM. the previous comments about this album trying to cram the whole of the Smashing Pumpkins back catalogue into one album is side splitting also, mainly because Idlewild are so much better, so much cleverer and frankly downright more interesting in every possible way to the criminally overrated and happily now defunct Smashing pumpkins.

don't get me wrong, I am under no illusion that Idlewild are the most original band ever to grace the earth but hats should not be tilted toward iconographic US bands like the aforementioned REM/Smashing pumpkins. I think a better breakdown would be to think of Idlewild as a blend of The Smiths and Mogwai. Idlewild carry a lack of sickly sweet sentiment in their songs even when writing about love and relationships and this album is no different and I personally feel enhances their reputation as one of the most important contemporary bands today - not just in the UK but on a global scale. I don't think they get the recognition they deserve and although "The Remote Part" offers more to a mainstream audience I still don't think they'll get the exposure to propel them to the heights they are capable of achieving. I don't mind that one bit as the last thing the world needs is another Stadium rock band.

buy their records and be totally immersed but don't try and pigeonhole them to other bands. for fans of anything from folk to Indie to Post Punk. you'd be doing yourselves a great injustice by avoiding this band.

The story is very interesting, adequately paced and funny at times, however I thought the language was too flowery. Reminded me of British novels, ones you can't read through casually (even though the story is "casual"). After having read American authors with a more straightforward style, it is hard to read British or British inspired writing specially when it is not even a classic!

Nice to get it in Region 2 if Import. Many friends were glad to get it but would have like to have got it in England.

Packing was good. Shipping was fast. I bought the black pudding with some sausages, and they all came together, well frozen.

I am British. As another person said, this black pudding is not quite like the North of England version that I was hoping for. I am not familiar with authentic Irish black pudding, i.e. as found in Ireland, so I can't comment on its Irishness, but it is pretty good anyway.

I would still like to find some Yorkshire or Lancashire style here one day, though ..... sigh!!

The only reason this gets four stars is because its the British version. Its not that big of deal, but you do have to convert stone/KG to pounds, which is a bit annoying. Just be aware before you buy the paperback, or get the book in store.

As a British expat I was excited to have a 'taste of Blighty sweets').
They were all very good, just be aware of the size. These are UK size candy bars, which are smaller than what you might expect in the US.

I didn't realize this could only be played in England. Luckily I was able to show it on a computer and I had to format my computer so I could play it for my class to watch.

Box is well design and perfectly functional. The problem I'm having is with pricing. I am presently living in Jamaica and so make purchases from Amazon.com frequently. The Fire Box forces me onto the UK site with no access to US based IPTV services. British services (BBC et-al) will not work outside the UK.

Checking the same movie on Amazon through the Fire Box, my Playstation and on Apple TV through my US account the price for the Movie is 1 British Pound more expensive on the Fire Box than through the Amazon store on the Playstation.

Then checking through Apple TV the price was around 50 US cents cheaper on Apple TV. I'm OK with the marketing aspects of this but find it odd that I can make purchases from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk through the web, but locked to the UK (when outside the UK) with the Fire Box.

Pricing and restrictive service location make this product an issue for me to use. Others may not have the same issues but I'd recommend checking the pricing of your movies through another platform first, even if you're sticking with Amazon as the provider.

Im from England and this was an excellent portrayal of Asian/British culture amongst the Asian community. This is a rather old film and does not reflect the greater diversity that has happened since, but still worth a look.

Five Stars for the series.  One star for the dvd.  Very disappointed that the dvd is compatible with British dvd players only.  Bought it for my mother-in-law for Christmas.  Unfortunately, I did not realize is was the wrong format for US dvd players.

This is a very good tea, but does not outplace my favorite tea from the UK (PG Tips). I found the taste of the tea bag material to linger in the tea, so be careful not to let it steep any longer than needed. Yorkshire certainly is better tasting than the average US tea brands, so try it if you are looking for an upgrade, though I would also order a box of PG Tips for a treat!

Not restricted to music, but includes the British influence in movies and fashion.
I was hoping to get a complete account of the British invasion bands, so I was disappointed on that regard.
An encyclopedia of the British Invasion, it is not.
But has good pictures, and some good information on the period.

This book would be great if I lived in England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales. All of the fish, bait, etc. is for that side of the pond. Some things are universal, so it may be helpful in bits and pieces, but not really useful if you're looking for basic saltwater fishing in the US.
