In search of a really dumb answer, and further proof of dimness

Brit flisters, I need your help. There is a particular type of Fondant Fancy that I think comes in a pink or yellow packet and definitely has your traditional pink, yellow and brown-iced cakes, but they are diamonds not squares and they are especially awful/brilliant and I would know them to look at them in an instant, but cannot remember the name or where one buys them to save my life.

You can buy them at a two storey supermarket of a very common type right next to either Victoria or Green Park.

I was hit in the head with a taxi, and then bounced on said head across a major thoroughfare, I have a perfectly legitimate excuse for being this vague!

That said, I have no excuse for my appalling tardiness when it comes to birthdays. You would think I could make it through one month, but no.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today to [livejournal.com profile] joanwilder , [livejournal.com profile] sparemint  and [livejournal.com profile] vaginal_parfait , I hope it is absolutely spectacular for each of you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK
 to [livejournal.com profile] banbury , [livejournal.com profile] lietothedevil  and [livejournal.com profile] unomesowell  for the 19th and to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] angelofcaffeine  and [livejournal.com profile] suonguyen  for the 17th, I hope that it has been filled with festivities, or at least pleasantly calm!

Your kindness knows no bounds! Actually, you may be able to help me track down where I found them and what they were -- what night was Merlin on last November? I bought them as snackery for crap TV night.

Saturday evening! Can you remember where you got them?

Not offhand, but we were at the British Museum earlier that day, so if I go through my notes and receipts, I may be able to track it down! I remember that I bought them at a two-storey shop right next to a tube station, on the corner of a street. Helpful, yes? Poor brain, it is made of sago!
