(snicker snicker) I misunderstood the topic. Was thinking a different kind of "exotic" shop.

OOPS :shock:
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry & has been widely regarded as a bad move.

There is a great shop Asian food shop in Tikkurila on Tikkurilantie, between Pizza Star and the Kierrätyskeskus backyard.
I can't remember the name of the place, their correct address nor their contact details. However if you know Tiksi well, you should find it quite easily! :D
They specialise in Thai foodstuffs mostly, they have good prices on rice and have fresh greens as well.

So when I fancy a bar of English chocolate, a bag of Walkers crisps, a can of cherry coke or something from Behnford's how does that make me rich & retarded for god's sake?? And is Behnford's really 'a niche boutique for people who have too much anyway'? Its my money and I can spend it on what I like, some people fork out for cigarettes, alcohol, flash cars, whatever, but it now appears that some of us can't buy a bar of bloody chocolate now and again without being an idiot, what a load of cr*p! It never ceases to amaze me what some people get their knickers in a twist about on the Forum..

Considering this thread is from 2005, I don't give a s* your cat eats caviar off a golden platter, but in my books you're rich&retarded if it does. If you can afford to buy from overpriced luxury stores like Behnfords or Stockmann then compared to us mortals buying from Lidl you are "rich". If you *must* have XYZ brand because you can't figure out what your regular store offers - its oftentimes the same s* in a different package rebranded for different markets, then you might be slightly challenged shoppingwise . This from a financially challenged patron of Lidl who needs to guess what the heck they stuff in those boxes by trial and error. Every mealtime is a death challenge.

I can assure you I am quite capable figuring out what my local store offers and they do not offer 95% of what Behnford's sell, it is my choice where I go shopping and don't need branding a retard in doing so. Carry on being the mighty mouth of this Forum Hank, I couldn't give a rats ass what you think.
