| if you left the UK what would you miss the most? Im looking at a website that sells all british stuff and they charge 25 quid delivery but that's whether you have 1 thing or up to 30 kg of stuff! So im trying to think of all the things I miss from the UK to see if they have them lol. one of the things I reeeaaaaally miss is proper doughnuts but the bakery opposite me has started doing them no *hooray* and frazzles... which they sell on this site |

| Maybe British Chinese food It's never the same abroad and fresh milk and cream, as in clotted or double (I can never find it in Cyprus)
Don't think I'd miss anything else that could be bought. I would miss the uk though. I live the seasons (although I moan constantly about the weather) I'd miss the beautif country side and pretty villages. Oh and British pubs. |

| EVERYTHING!! except chavs, and puke in the street. Seriously, chocolate, it just tastes different abroad. Things like packet sauce mixes, fruit gums, niknaks.. sponge cake.. Sure i'll think of more! |

| At least you get chocolate. My sister says the stuff in Singapore is disgusting and always stocks up on that and vaseline tins when she comes back (which is not often enough I think I'd miss marmite. Don't really know what else I wouldn't be able to get abroad. I could happily live on pasta, feta, olives, etc so some countries would suit me down to the ground. Oh actually that's a lie. I need Dr Pepper Zero or diet cherry coke. Can you get those? |

But I missed fish and chips it's just not the same |

| we get english tea bags (PG tips, Tetley) erm milk is the same (well I dont notice any different) umm we get frozen holland cheese and onion pies? we have walkers... well walkers in the english shops or in the cypriot shops they are called Lay's. but Lay's ARE walkers. ummm we have frozen white bread (can get hovis) but it's mainly one called jacksons if you want proper english style bread otherwise Id go MAD I hate the local bread. I do miss chippy chips but if you go to a take away or restaurant that make their own chips they are soooooooooooooooo tasty, I think it's the cypriot potato's they have so much flavour! so we're quite lucky I guess that we can get most things but then Cyprus is a pretty englified (!?) place |

| Just looked at your link, we don't have that we're we go. In fact unless things have changed everything in n Cyprus came in via turkey. Maybe when I'm there I pop into yours for a brew?? |
