I'm in the US, going to watch the Royal Wedding with a group of Americans (party kicking off at 3am) , thought I would make the cake. Rich Tea or Digestives? I can get both over here though they are pricey. Then is it basically raisins and cherries?

Well, I would always use chocolate digestives. I suppose it would work with Rich Tea though. And I wouldn't put the raisins in, as I think it just dilutes the chocolatiness (real word?), although that's just me...

Yes, I have an Annabel Karmel US recipe book that uses Grahams but I don't like them. The shortbread is a good idea. There are going to be 25 people there so it has to be quite big, bigger anyway than the usual 8" square.

Also, do you use evaporated milk?

Nope. Golden syrup. And butter.

Gingernuts and digestives

Evap is a must!!! And NO dried fruit. Just thinking of making one for the weekend too :).
