If you have moved away from the UK (or if you did) what would you miss most?

[Cordial11]

I miss vinegar!!!! Going out and having fish and chips without vinegar is saddening lol!

Also marks and spencers food!

Mud, I really missed mud living in sandy places

@SmudgeButt - Tim Horton's are having an incredibly slow expansion across the UK, so perhaps Timbits will reach you eventually

I lived in China for a couple of years over 12 years ago, I missed hp sauce, marmite, beans and open Internet without a vpn! I remember crying with happiness when a friend sent me a can of heinz beans and I sat eating them cold out of the can, bean by bean with chopsticks oh and British organised queues.

Omg beans with chopsticks hahahaha 😂

Being able to eat at any time of the day (where I was the restaurants closed and it was difficult to eat out unless was a ‘meal time’), supermarkets not open all the time, fresh convenient food, small brown shrimps, smoked haddock, salt and vinegar walkers, pickled onion monster munch, salt and vinegar chipsticks, frazzles, British do the best crisps, convenient banking, cash back in supermarkets, general caring about other people eg queuing, the bbc, the nhs (yes we moan about them but they are AMAZING)

Oh and Gardeners World

The local accent and dialect
Bread that isn't full of sugar shite
Asda low prices
The odd trip to sainsbos for choc
Aerial and persil bio powder
3 and 4 year nursery funding
Not having to pay afortune to see a doctor
The change in seasons
My dc associating with the local well mannered kids

Halloween where everyone dresses scary, bonfire night, collecting chestnut and putting them on an open fire, pint of beer, british pubs, antiques roadshow, countryfile

Oh and I forgot. The National Trust. Am never living abroad again. Done it

I miss the National Trust. Also crappy sausages, pork pies, and... I think that's all.

When I'm back in the UK I do love a good browse around Boots.

London - I missed being surrounded by such history and diverse rich culture it never occurred to me that I would miss it the UK has such a rich culture

Sarcasm
Our awkwardness, being overly polite, uptight, not too friendly
Indian restaurants
Huge selection of crisps
Seasons - warm weather all the time doesn’t make everyone happy. When it says sunny here there is such a change in how people haven’t experienced that elsewhere

I miss dairy milk, proper Indian takeaways, crumpets, bacon and going to the theatre (am from near London).

I lived in Vienna and I missed tea, pubs, bbc iplayer and Jay walking

And milk
Never found milk to be as nice in the states or Australia

The rhythm of the seasons
TEA!!!
Queuing - just feels weird not to do it but you never get anything done if you stand around and other people don't
Weirdly, British panel shows and quizzes, but these are quite cultural specific so maybe it's not weird
Understanding clothes sizing - I always have to stop and work it out even quickly, rather than just knowing
Conversations reminiscing about common childhood experiences

Conversations reminiscing about common childhood experiences

Yes!

I also am very bad at pub quizzes here, even though I've lived in the US for 12+ years. I can't answer any questions about TV shows, sports, childhood heroes/TV shows, etc.

Yy even after years, even if you learn the language and customs there are little things that you can't compensate for. Quizzes are a good example of highlighting this.

tea and being able to buy (some) medicines in the supermarket.

Salty butter

London!

Bakery products - tortilla wraps, crumpets, sliced bread and bagels
Bacon & plain sausages
Heinz Mayo, ketchup, beans & spaghetti hoops
Painkillers that cost 26p a packet in a supermarket
Fibre optic broadband
People understanding me / being able to understand them. (Completely my fault!)
Cadbury chocolate
Ready meals
Garlic bread
Large coffees

Summer fetes
Churches
Green
Summer rain smell after a heatwave
The way everyone is so happy the first few hot days
The way everyone moans after two weeks of heatwave
May Day holiday
School uniforms
Cheddar
English beaches and piers
Humour irony
Queues
Beautiful old villages and cottages
Tea shops with proper scones and clotted cream

@MrsPlesWearsAFez

yes - still far too far away for me so I have to wait for when I return from LP in Toronto where there's a Tim's beyond security. (& a Swiss Chalet outside of security ...nice to have great rotisserie chicken) I usually buy a box full. And a couple of dipped chocolate sour creams....

The sound and sight of cricket in the summer.

The biggest thing is the general feeling of society - people respecting others, queuing and not dropping litter. Obviously that is not everywhere in the UK but generally it is. People are just nice to each other. Honestly that was the thing that drove me to distraction when I lived abroad. People just didn’t give a shit about other around them.
