Things you miss from the UK

och, you are so right!!! I hated it everytime I told myself to be open to new things

Family, the landscape and the sea.

Speed cameras, the M25, Heathrow, politics, Barrett Homes, chavs and pikeys, crime, the price of living in London.

It's terrible. Nothing to really have a good moan about here.

You forgot lukewarm beer, Tony Blair..oh wait sorry Gordon Brown and Eastenders.

Sausages
Bacon
Crumpets
Wide range of decent sandwiches almost anywhere that sells snacks
Crisps
Biscuits
Wine (not UK wine, just a bigger selection)
Pedigree, Old Speckled Hen, Brains Dark
Indian and Chinese take-aways
The local chippie
Cornish pasties
Wide range of decent ready-made meals in supermarkets
The water that makes PG Tips taste like it should
Sitcoms and stand-up comedy
Browsing books in a bookshop
Not being a foreigner
Politeness
Generally safe driving on the motorway
Being close(closer) to the sea

I'm wondering what kind of wine you can't get here in Germany?

Sitcoms are available through sat tv and stand-up is available every month at the English Comedy club.

As for a bigger selection of wine, you cannot be serious.

I miss this...

Yeah, but I can't get sat TV, and the English Comedy Club is not on telly (and filled with smoke, uncomfortable seating and often too many people).

And yes, I'm serious about the wine. My local supermarket at home, Waitrose, has an enormous selection of wine from around the world, Australian being my favourite. My local supermarket here, Hit, has quite a large selection, but it doesn't compare, at least not on Australian. It's ahead on German wine, I'll grant you, and probably about equal on Italian, though much of that is cheap crap.

Isn't that car the wrong way up?

He's kidding. There's no way the UK offers 438 varieties of sweet Trollinger.

Roundabouts are making inroads here.

I miss pies, too. The savory ones already mentioned, and mincemeat. And I'm not even from the UK.

Sausage too. All sausage here seems to have a really heavy salty porky aggressive thing going on, without being sumptuously juicy and spicy.

... I miss getting wasted in town and actually seeing/participaring in a fight! i mean come on. 6 months and i havent seen one!!! not one i tells ya!
thats quite a feat on the germans part, i am actually quite shocked.

also i miss :-
crumpets,
bacon,
brown sauce (i say brown 'cos tescos own has actually gone better than HP recently),
chippollatta sausages (dont know how to spell them sorry),
being able to be understood whatever/wherever i go,
PROPER BREAD none of this kastenwisebrot crap,
chicken soup (cant find any anywhere),
mum's cooking,
house partys,
ready packed meals. (again the only ones i find you have to bloody do about 8 different things to before its ready! ready meals my arse!),
NOT gettting stopped by the fuzz every 2 minutes because i look "sort of weird",
the friendly(ish) old people who dont kick you in the shins, no matter what you do,
the rediculously high price of fags, haha

... i could go on, but i cant be botherd to be honest!

cant wait to go back!!! 12 days! woohoo! haha

I dont dont miss the above

just the chippie the rest you can keep including cistm konfligt

Politness & friendliness
Sense of humour
Being able to use cards everywhere and not having to worry about always finding a bank
Choice/variety of food in supermarkets plus nice fresh fruit & veg in supermarkets
Choice of restaurants - have found good restaurants of most kinds, but where are all the normal restaurants - you know, not thai/ indian/ insert ethnic type here, but just normal tasty restaurants..?
Crisps
Bacon
'Proper' bread
Good pub food
Fish & chips
Fish generally
Atmoshpere at gigs (and in clubs)
People automatically buying rounds in pubs
Good clothes shopping

There's just as many things I don't miss as well, right enough..

its konfliqt actually slate.
what does dont dont mean anyway? your agreeing with me or what?

ps. the fighting thing was ment to be a joke, but in all fairness its amazing what you miss when you grow up in Swansea. getting a dodgy kebab and chips after a night out and eating them like popcorn, being mezmerised by all the flashing lights and noise!

I grew up in Langley Estate in Manchester ,makes swansea look like Toytown ( the real Toytown), I saw many a fight mostly with family members ,dad and son and so on ,and I don't miss it one bit sorry mate

cant comment on that sorry, never been to Manchester. Cant really say whether its worse or not, but Im sure the 4 times population increase doesnt help though. But oh well.
Only time i've ever seen a family brawl was at a wedding too, not the pleasantest of times.

translation: "Kev got some really strong skunk in yesterday, we smoked some at lunchtime, forgot to order the skip, so it didn't turn up today, so couldn't do any work, then while smoking a spliff on the roof I knocked a tile off which broke the sunroof on your car."
