No, it just wasn't available and nothing came close.
And no, sadly, it's not SunDrop - but something almost as good.
The Sharpie. Yes, the Sharpie is finally available in the UK. I haven't seen it in stores, but I have seen it advertised on tv.

Yes, I am a stationery fetishist - but the Sharpie is the supreme permanent marker - it will write on almost anything - as I learned during my undergraduate days as a geology student - marking many, many rock samples with barely a dimunition in flow.
And sure my needs for a permanent marker are less than they used to be, but when you need a Sharpie you need a Sharpie.
And now I can get one here in the UK.

And then there 's the ironic twist worthy of O'Henry
Now that I can get a Sharpie, is just the time when my household may not be best suited for permanent markers.

but I bet you can't even sniff the marker yet, since you're breast feeding? Ask your doctor if it's ok.
If I'd known, I would have brought you a big rainbow package of them. Goldie Hawn loves Sharpies, too. My friend worked at the bookstore where she did her SF book signing and she demanded: 5 fuschia sharpies to sign with, lipton tea bags, chamomile tea, and peppermint tea. A pot of hot water. She brought her own mug. I can't remember the snacks she demanded but I recall the words "organic" and "spirulina" She would only sign books purchased at that bookstore. Nothing else would be signed. Put away your private benjamin lunchboxes and 8 x 10 glossies from Laugh-In. Goldie would only sign her name. No personalized messages. Goldie was hardcore.
VolAbroad-
1) Congrats on the new baby!
2) How did people live over there without Sharpies?
3) I didn't know you were a geology student - that was my undergrad major!
