It can be "glad wrap," here in the U.S., as well. Technically, it's a brand name, like saying "Kleenex" instead of "facial tissue" or something....I've also heard it called "Saran Wrap" (another brand name) and plastic wrap. We Americans traveling in Britain tend to bring home our own British goodies, too, you know? I cherished my package of Demerara sugar (just used the last of it over Christmas...made it last over 3 years!), and still have a jar of Branson's Pickle left. Couldn't bring back any of the wonderful cheeses, though! <sigh, mope> --Sue, who has some of the Ziplocs for her fiber and yarn stash ;o)
