    There's bound to be a distributor somewhere. I'll ask my GF's mate who's their Marketing guru.

    The nearest Waitrose to Leeds is Otley, I think. OK if you're there with a car and a pleasant place to visit on a summer's evening. Harrogate by train if no car, also a pleasant spot at this time of year.

    A brand spanking new one will open on 30th September, if you are still in that neck of the woods then.

    I'm pretty sure there was one in Roundhay, but that was yeeears ago.

    Our Tesco used to do US-style boxes of glazed ring doughnuts, as opposed to sugar-sprinked lumps of chewy dough in a paper bag.

    I never found any shop that has consistent doughnuts, they all tend to vary between light and delicious, and stodgy and 'wet'. Shame because a good doughnut is wonderful.

    If so, beware what goes into Twinkie Bars.

    I am told that before baking, Twinkies look like pellets of grey axle grease, allegedly, of course.
    I caught some of an episode of Life After People last week and there was a bit in there regarding food.

    They mentioned Twinkie bars would still be edible 30 - 100 years after their best before date!

    Try Tescos, they sell KK in some of their outlets.
