You will be in London just before I fly to New York for a week. 

I found myself in my local newsagents on Sunday eyeing up the sweetie 
jars.  I saw some sherbet lemons, but felt a bit silly about asking 
for a quarter (especially as they seem to be metric these days).

Hmmm.  I can think of nicer biscuits than Hob Nobs, but they are 
tasty.  It may seem a bit obvious, but make sure they do have 
chocolate (plain or milk) on them - there is an unadorned variety.  

I like Boasters, which are huge choc chip and nut (or raisin) 
biscuits: very buttery and about a million calories a bite.  Also, 
try Jaffa Cakes. You'll eat them by the box...
