What package? There was no package? Who said anything about a package? It must have got lost in the mail, or abducted by aliens. I blame delays caused by the London Olympics, or Obama being Kenyan, or Elvis, or...

And even if your initial shipment had arrived, I'm sure you'd be happy to receive a back-up
After all, there are all these folk willing to give, and it would be churlish not to offer them the opportunity? Yes?

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! I HAS CHOCORRIT!
Of course, while lovely, delicious chocorrit is Very Nice Indeed, Full Circle was also nice enough to send along a bottle of the original HP Sauce, complete with HM The Queen's royal seal on it and everything. Those of you in the UK are probably mocking me for this, but, over here, it's a bit hard to find anything but the fruity stuff—and even those shops that do stock the real thing usually sell out just in time for me to drop by.
Many, many, many thanks!

Do continue with your scheduled chorrorit eating. HP Sauce? No accounting for taste, but if it works for you...
