Things you miss from the UK

Is there anything that you miss from UK that you just cant get in Munich?

pies! (chicken/mushroom, steak/kidney etc)
pasties

My mates and family.

British beer and British pubs.

@smb
british beer?? do you mean real ale?
i know where you are coming from with the pubs

@STB
British beer ?? Are you having a laugh??

bacon, supermarkets, sunday shopping, being able to wash car in street, being able to wash car on a sunday anywhere, English, being able to use my Visa debit card everywhere for anything, roundabouts (i hate traffic lights), cheddar cheese (great big slab of extra mature from tescos), crisps (many places have a small secletion of walkers noe but still, not the same)... but going back soon

My friends.

like the EC card here you mean

British comedy on the tele and radio, especially satire.

Also:
The Conservative parties of the UK (both of them) always good for a laugh.
The sophisticated drinking culture of the English.

cheddar cheese (great big slab of extra mature from tescos)

ooooooooooooooooo cheddar cheese

actually, real ale is quality stuff. I miss it too. German beer, although very good, tends to be rather homogenous. And to be honest I was never really a lager fan, so for me Pils and Helles etc are just better versions of things of a second choice beer. I enjoy Münchener Dunkeles but not Weissbier.

But there is nothing like a good pint of real ale drawn from a cask. It is not everyone's choice but it certainly is mine.

Bacon cheese and oatcake's :-(

oh yea and sausage because the German ones taste like cr@p

Too true

I am heading back to the Potteries this weekend, so...

Oatcakes... here I come!!

G

Yes but I never had a German bank account so never had one.

mmmmmm oatcakes

I reckon the sausages here are wicked, far better than the ones I had in Brit land. I do miss a beef sausage tho...anyone know if you can get them here? (I'm talking about the kind you cook...none of this kinky stuff)

@ Grinner

Please bring me some back. will happily pay for them. About 15 dozen will do lol

what sausages did you have in England???

@ grinner

same here if you get any spare packs floating around :-D

try bbc 7 over the internet or ask Bav Sat to sort you out.

toda yi miss being surronded by people excited about the cricket.

but gids, you are surrounded by people excited about the cricket - in your very own cosy virtual community called Toytown

Bookies
Walkers Crisps
Northern Birds (with low moral standards)
British Banks (who see you as a customer rather than a hindrance)
Customer service
Proper curries
Chip shop chips (in paper with loads of salt and vinegar)
Proper Kebabs
Knock A Door Run
Hedge Bombing
The availability of herbal medicine (especially the smoking kind )

G

@Treehugger

No, perfectly serious. What rubbish have you been drinking?

Bacon and Egg sandwitch with HP sauce (make noice like Homer Simpson when he thinks about food).

@Brock Landers

mmmmmmmmm BACON.

And not that shit streaky thin stuff you get over here. Nice thick slices of back bacon. mmmmmmmmmmm

black pudding
watching proper rugby on the telly in the pub in leeds with my sister and her scary bloke
my nephews and stuff (bless 'em)

@Topsy
Black Pudding??? (wretches at the very idea).

black pudding is the food of the gods!!

yum fried egg butty with HP sauce...ere, I got HP sauce at Tengelman's the other day! woah!

I miss:

- humour
- general friendliness
- fresh cream cakes

I think it's even in our new canteen, Moonboot.

Each to their own. Personally I would rather dip my ball's in a tub of petrol and see how low I could get to a lit candle, rather than eat that shit!!!

Black pudding is part of an Irish Fry so can't you get it at one of the Irsih pubs?

I think the breakfastat Molly Malone's on Kellerstr includes black pudding (if I understood Kebab Meister correctly).

@exile, i've a supply in my freezer that is regularly topped up

Chocolate Hobnobs

I've just seen this

*shakes fist at screen*
ban all cheeky southerners from the boards!!!

oh topsy i also miss arrogant southern wankers who believe all northern birds are sluts, and dont understand it when they get twated for saying so.

@ Topsy
I would thank you madam for not casting such dispersions.
I do not have a drop of shandy drinking blood in my body. It is northern blood that course's through me!!!

And I didn't say all Northern Birds. Just the ones with low moral standards

ooo - soz!
well, then, you should know better
and you must be a posh northerner if you don't like black pudding, i thought it was compulsory (like watching cricket)

probably from harrogate.

must be - or richmond or somewhere like that

Well posh me. I only pee in the bath and fart in bed on a friday

or studied in some dodgy shirt lifting public school as proper northerns dont say "bird" we say "lass"

aye, you're not wrong there, lad

aye an' all, lass. i'll be gettin' mi nose down t' grindstone, totherwisw boss'll go barmy.
