What will/do you miss about the UK?

[homesick_american 1]

There's the what won't/don't you miss about the UK thread...how about some positivity? Weird coming from me I know, but...

I'll miss:

* Mr Kipling's lemon slices

* Bacon sandwiches from Hartley's in York

* The PG Tips monkey

* Chatting with my Brit neighbors about our animals...they do love their pets here

* Long vacations

* Summers where the temp rarely gets above 90F

* Have I Got News For You

* Radio 4

Plenty of positivity in this forum! So much so that this thread has already been done twice before, by LisaD and Flutter!

That's okay, just wanted to point out that we LOVE the UK here, hence the threads!

I'm totally screwed then; I don't love the UK but I've made up my mind not to talk about that anymore.

We just sold our house so we should be coming home in a few weeks; I won't be homesick much longer. Wish I could change my username.

You can...unless you've already changed it. M.

ETA: I think you can only change it once in the span of a year, but I just checked your profile, and it says you've never had a different name...so go to my controls and somethign along the lines of "change display name" or something like that....you can change it. !

You can order Bisto on the internet; for those of us lucky enough to be going to north Texas there's a shop in Dallas that sells it. Can't be the only one in America tho!

Haven't the heart to tell her that though!

Well I used to live next to a Kroger in North Dallas that did. That the only one? I moved, and that store is almost and hour away. Last time Dan was over we had to have his sister mail some over!

There was a shop on Greenville Avenue that was dedicated to British foodstuffs but I just went to their website and they've closed.

There are tons of shops online that provide British goods though.
