Pies... That's another one. They only have one common non desert pie in the US. Chicken pot pie. Other than that if you say pie in the US they think you mean desert. I have to make my own steak and potato pies. Oh and how could I forget no Jaffa Cakes here.
Some of them do. Parmesan is pretty unique and feta adds a definite different flavour. The motsarealla balls broken apart and spread about five different creaminess in different bites.
Being able to easily go overseas somewhere is something I miss. Too expensive to fly to a different country here and holidays are too short to make it worth an investment. 15 days off a year you can't take 2 weeks at once... A week is a heavy investment in holiday time. Everywhere you go in the US looks just about the same. Same stores in ident-a-kit buildings in every city. In the UK one town looks different to another. In the US no matter where you go it all looks basically the same (landscapes change but towns all look the same). Health care. You can't even go for an annual physical without paying hundreds of dollars... And that's in addition to the $1500 or so I pay for the insurance monthly.
Have you read it, just look at where the personal insults start and think about it. I post there and get called a drunk (by Tobes of all people ) because I have a life and don't post all day long but tend to come on after 8.00 pm when my day has ended. They look for anything to gain some kind of upper hand but rarely post personal opinions with reasons for them, just links that agree with them. I love it because I can just see the red rage rising from their neck to their cheeks and onto their foreheads. Gammon
Got to be honest mate, I have only had 3 Margherita's from 3 different outlets and they all seemed like cheese pizzas to me.
I remember the pot pies from the time I was in the US, not a pie, in my opinion a pie should be something surrounded by pastry that you can pick up and eat in your hands. That moves me on to pasties another thing I miss.
Despite missing a few things, I dont really miss the uk. Have a decent lifestyle over here and a very easy working week.
Yeah chicken pot pie not really the same. Pasties... Yeah, none of those either... But in a way they're more or less pies that are shaped different.
Thing I miss most are: 1) changing daylight hours and particularly long Summer evenings 2) access to decent English cheese and chocolate 3) being able to step out of my house door and go for a run
You're talking out your arse. The insults have been going on from day 1 on the very first thread (I think we are on number 3 now). At the centre of these insults on all three threads is Pete. The guy wil just not accept any other views than his own and when you point it out, you are met with a childish insult. In my own exchanges with him yesterday, it was Pete who dragged my wife into it, along with his extremely childish lying leftie jibes. You yourself have now jumped on the bandwagon, with your late night " let's be a smart arse" routine. You shouldn't really comment on stuff you obviously no nothing about.
If you owned a shop or whatever in Hull and somebody came in and started jabbering away in Spanish, even if you understood you’d be within your rights to insist that they spoke English. It still amazes me the amount of pig ignorant Brits who live or visit here and are dismayed that people speak Spanish, and still expect that everybody will speak English.
Went there years ago when my brother was living there. One of the more civilized Aussie cities. They do have the Redback. We found a nest in the handbrake of my brothers car! Tiger snake you don’t want to **** with either.
Most of the trouble makers are incapable of rational debate, and that’s why it frequently sinks into a slanging match.
We just came back from Gran Canaria and we were chatting to some other English people on a day trip . I honestly feel we should HAVE to learn a second language . Having English as your first language makes you lazy IMHO , most agreed , but some actually thought it was only right that everyone must speak English
