You know you're living in America and not the UK when...

Hehe! I get my mum to do that, but she just mainly sends me tubs of marmite which my sister gets for me from Macros. Is cheaper sending tubs that jars, because the tubs weigh much less.

Hmm - my brother has a macro card >< I wonder if they do bovril as well...

They may do, ask him to check it out!

maybe you can see the tiny jars as like a nicotine patch for smokers... you can go smaller and smaller til you can finally wean yourself off the stuff

I'm definitely a Marmite addict, you'd never be able to wean me off it, I've been eating this stuff for 23 years, it's my life!

lol maybe i should open a marmite factory, i love marmite crisps too, lol

oooh I never had those! ok, ganna have to make a list for my mum

to answer your earlier question, Jeraly - as far as I know, it's virtually impossible to ship refrigerated stuff, unless you're running an import business or something

That sucks - I know my mum has a friend who has a son in Georgia and I think she manages it somehow... other than that I guess it is going to be sneaky sneaky through customs

They never seemed to have a problem with cheese though which is a good thing I even got sniffer dogged once and begrudgingly owned up to my cheese - they seemed more concerned with vegetation and meat

Is marmite that syrupy stuff in the green can i see in Tesco here? i asked my fellow shoppers what that was and all i got were blank stares!!! What is that stuff???

If I could wish for only one product that would be it..... and some proper cheese to make a sandwich!

I've never seen that golden syrup stuff here, no...Gah, I was so mad the first time I had to have that. Was just last summer I think. Me and Iain made french toast and went out to get syrup for it. Silly me thinking we were buying REAL syrup, not thick honey beeswax shite. Ah

You can get Branston at Jungle Jim's in Cincy. Good English cheddar is at Trader Joe's.

Thanks but I know. But I try to ration myself because it's pretty expensive at those places. I know where to get those things, it's just that I can't really afford to buy it often!

We have British stores in Dayton which are closer than Jungle Jims where I try to get that stuff.... I always find I have to plan an entire afternoon at Jungle Jims because I have to go to the French, Indian, German and general cheese sections as well as the British one!

Ok, American guy here!

I don't get the soccer (football), When I was in school I played it all the time and I loved it. But to watch it being played is like watching paint dry. No one ever scores points!

How can this be enjoyable?

I've never understood what's so exciting about American "football". Takes like an hour to get from one end of the field to the other!! I went and saw the Denver Broncos, never been so bored in all my life.

Yeah but how is a game exciting when no one wins...just draws...m'dear? :-p You can either win or lose in my opinion!

When people ask me if I'm Irish because I have red hair and blue eyes. #######?

I get that all the time...well because I am part Irish!

But my background is more English than anything
