    Used Azimo and Argenper many, many times and never an issue. They are both trustworthy. I have also stopped using them however as per the reasons PedroC outlined in his post.

    Found this in Jumbo which was a bit odd. They also had mature and red leicester (same brand). Also saw a Spanish wine. Maybe the importation floodgates are about to open? Please God let it be! Weetabix, I need Weetabix.

    Elections which will see Argentina at a crossroads. Continue with Macri and his reforms or back down the road with you know who.

    Cristina's New Party... Frente Unidad Ciudadana Kirchnerista

    Seems a real shitty policy and an absolute gift for Christina and the opposition. She will win in Gran Bs As, it just remains to see by how much. If she does well then I can see investment in Argentina drying up until the next elections in 2019.
