Went into a shop today that only sells English products. Of course I stocked up on salt & vinegar crisps and vimto , but I was wondering if you had to move abroad what kind of things would you miss that you could only get in your country??

Hi all,

I travelled a lot in my life for quite long periods and I think you have to be french to understand the feeling of the first bite of french bread you have when you come back home.

Abroad? You can't even get good fresh brewed sweetened iced tea outside the South!

*Some* people actually think tea comes from a POWDER! And, if that's not bad enough, if they brew tea, they put MILK in it. The thought of it makes me gag.

I know that tea doesn't come in a powder, but I do put milk in my tea. Unless I'm sick...then I drink it plain.
