What would I do for a Klondike Bar? Nothing. It looks not much more than a square choc ice over here. I think you can buy a pack of choc ices from Tescos for about 50p. Swedish glace ice cream, something for the veggie-type generally (which I'm not), but I'd jump off mountains for that. Can't get enough of that.

A Klondike bar is delicious vanilla ice cream with a crunchy chocolate coating.

This is what I'm talkin' bout

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Yes we are mad. But it's not just us - so are our continental johnny foreigner friends. I mean you Americans must get choc ices on sticks? What about in a cone? You don't know what you are missing. Ice cream soft porn adverts for one.

sooo, at sports events you have little kids reciting old speeches made by sports coaches? Is that right? wow. mind you, we're no better. we once had some gobby little kid in a bow tie who used to do valuations on antiques - how outrageous is that. he's a lady now apparently. And we had lena zavaroni, but she's dead.

These are Boston fans. They have an atavistic need to act out their collective inferiority complex. No amount of success will ameliorate it.

Coming from a land without Klondike bars, you folks have no right to mock others.

This is true, unfortunately. But we're a better looking bunch than those Yankee fans.

Me too, I thought it was an Americanism for "ball-bag".
