Re: spice jars
Yes..you are right...Uncles on Ladypool Road do sell this type of thing...also, if looking for these jars in the B'ham area...then Gohil Emporium on Stratford road also sell this as do a couple of places on Soho Road (one opposite the library) and one near the traffic lights near Ambala....
Also...£1 shops also now do a great range - most of the stuff is imported from China/India anyway!...
