Unfortunately I have seen  Nestle Nan inthe UK, in a Polish shop,  in  our 
nearby town, instructions all in Polish.  So no idea what on earth it says. 
I bet it's in lots of other  Polish shops.....guess I  need to find some 
funding to publish  the info I have in Polish on BF and get it out there

Nina - we're always delighted to  get visitors from Australia,    we had a 
reunion this autumn with my former co leader who   has ended up in 
Australia, when she was  over for her parents' golden wedding.  We did  some 
swapping of  resources,  which  was  great and  she brought me over some of 
the ABA BF Christmas cards.
