Since last summer in Ibiza - two weeks supply of Berocca! Great for mornings-after and to enjoy the day without falling asleep on the sunbed and embarrassing the kids by snoring at a busy poolside :oops:

Oooooh! My dad used to give them to us when we were kids!
Used to love it!

(Now my supermarkets own brand of red bull does the job for me - that and my supply of pro-plus. :shush )

I might get some Berocca for my hols too! Tastes much nice than Andrews (for the morning after the night before... :cheers )

(I'm going to have to stop reading this thread - my luggage is going up and up with the ideas I'm getting from here!
I'll be getting charged for excess baggage the way I am going! :haha )

My eldest went to France with his gf on Friday night. He'd asked me to help him pack. As he was carrying his case downstairs I told him I hoped he'd remember to pack one of the most important things - condoms! Don't want them coming back with an extra presant :really

Certainly Marmite. It has been top of my packing list for many years, taking precedence over tickets, passports, wife ...

I do like it for breakfast and it is even supposed to be a good defence against mosquito attack. Not sure whether that means internal or external application but it has worked remarkably well in the past.

Certainly Marmite.
I hate the stuff myself, but I've been known to take a jar out to Tunisia for English friends. There's actually a website called nomarmiteintunisia which is very popular with ex-pats and regular visitors to the country. :rofl
