Cheers Gordy, although I must admit a quick Troon to Larne ferry with my charabanc is quite enough for my Tayto supplies

My husband (N.Irish) was so annoyed with Golden Wonder for closing down their factory in Scotland and putting all their employees out of work. He stopped buying Golden Wonder in favour of Highlander Crisps. Highlander was formed by all the old employees of the defuncted Golden Wonder Factory and my husband decided he wanted to support Highlander. He always says Highlander are the best crisp he has tasted.

I didn't know any of that Jacqui - I've seen Highlander Crisps and never thought anything of it - I'll give them a go after that recommendation

How spooky- been to Asda this morning where Walkers are £1 for a multipack and they had the cheese and bacon ones along side the comic relief specials!

Plenty in Tesco Portsmouth. Not much comfort if you are in Perth though.

I've tried Tesco - I'm beginning to think that this is quite possibly something that didn't go well up here. I might have to sneak into England for some

The Golden Wonder Factory was in Broxburn, within 3 months of a Golden Wonder take over, the Factory was closed and production moved to England. There were 350 employees some with 20 years service. This was late 80's early 90's. However, good on them to start up their own sucessful business Highlander Crisps, one in the eye for Golden Wonder... We buy Scottish whenever possible particularly when it helps such a worthwhile business venture
