Top three things you miss from home?

[vincemunday]

I've been thinking about when I was back in the UK and the things I miss excluding family and friends. Of course we can get most things here now, and as the years pass we have access to more and more but here's my top three, what are yours?

1, Pie mash and liquor
2, My Nissan Pathfinder
3, Walking by the sea in Thanet in all kinds of weather

[stattointhailand]

Without thinking more than 2 minutes;-

Not the "Top" 3 but the first three that sprang to mind

Good beer at acceptable prices
Girls that understand there is a second part to the word striptease
Walking on pavements about town without fear of being run over, breaking your ankles or being garrotted by electrical cables

[caducus]

In no preferential order:

1. Good inexpensive wine;

2. Live music (especially opera and jazz);

3. Dedicated cycle paths.

Agree with Caducus on Item 1

1. Quality Red Wine

2. Cadbury's -Jaffa's, Cherry Ripe's & Freedo Frogs (Actually most of the Cadbury Range) plus Fry's Turkish Delights

3. Aussie Pub Meals

Certainly don't miss the women, if you can call them that these days the Ex may be reading this

Can get them all here Galee ......... mention to Mrs Galee that you want more family and i'm sure they will oblige.

Seems to be a lot of UK type bikkies available now (sometimes hidden in weard wrappers though) what type do you miss most? I'm guessing proper chocolate ones

Cant do some sports here, but some of the alternative sports can be fun

Pippoz, didn'y t you think that Jaffa cakes went downhill really fast about 20 odd years ago smaller less jam etc etc

[Chuchi]

Sat nights in my local pub with friends
Decent curry house
Stroll through Richmond Park

Since I now call Udon Home and living and working in this god forsaken UAE, I miss

Home cooked fresh food thai meals from my GF, she's a great cook. With a glass of red ofcourse.
Sleeping in
Relaxing with my 2 girls in my new house and swimming in the pool.

From aussie I just miss swimming in a cool ocean with waves.

"From aussie I just miss swimming in a cool ocean with waves." and that technically isn't IN oz

Just as us poms ALWAYS said "B*gger all worth having in Oz" =D>

[vincemunday]

Did you used to go to Brick Lane Chuchi? I used to go to there and the Kushoom Bugh in Upminster, seems like a lifetime ago.

[dunroaming]

I miss London theatre shows Aberdeen rolls and good live music concerts but hey man a trip home every year for 12 years has provided them but 13 months since I went home last cravings starting again

[choi choi]

Apart from my 3 Daughters, Zero! Thats why I'm here! (I'm a Brit)!

[Doodoo]

Miss from being away from Home
1) Missing Thailand and my Family
2) Authentic Tom Yum
3) The Challenge of driving the roads each and every day

[stattointhailand]

Miss being able to jump on the tube in London at Lunch or after work and going for short walks or seeking out new/different pubs and beers. Caducus reminded me that I've not been to the opera for over 15 years ROH & ENO were regular haunts

[dunroaming]

I think it's sad if u can't remember something from your home country u don't miss, makes me wonder how bad a life u had or what you are running away from

Roamin' in the gloamin' by the bonny banks o' Clyde.
