Sunderland & Toronto
.

There are a few of us who are exiles for at least some of the time and I was wondering what Sunderland people miss (or don't miss) when they move away - and what those who remain in Sunderland think they would miss most.

Obviously going to games would probably figure for most of us but what else?

I've been splitting my time between Sunderland and Toronto for a while now but it looks like when I go back in a couple of weeks I'm pretty much going to be in Toronto for the forseeable future.

I'm going to miss access to the countryside, savoury sandwiches, a couple (only) of the local pubs and Indian Takeaways. I'll also miss the casual friendliness of Sunderland folks... but I won't miss some of the chavs that seem to have proliferated since I got older :emoticon-0105-wink:

p.s. Mag wums will probably be deleted unless they're funny

Or edited, for our amusement ;)

I've spent summers away, and i miss tea. I'm a massive tea fan.

Just had lunch, Cumberland sausage and streaky bacon stottie, i'd miss anything like that, they try it abroad, but they can't quite get it right.

Beer gardens. Now, if you live in the sun it's routine, and you may not appreciate it, but for us english, particularly northerners, the first chink of light and the magners are outdoors, and the whole place comes alive.

English beer gardens are fantastic, and an underrated and undervalued wonder of our sometimes great country!
 
I've been in Milton Keynes for the past 3 years, I do miss family and friends even though when I do travel home its not easy to meet everybody, miss going to watch the lads and miss the friendliness of the locals its just not the same down south. I hope to return one day but the wife would like to return to her homeland Slovakia I think she might just get her own way

being able to understand what people are actually saying, and then to be able just to cross a road without having to take my life into my own hands

I miss being by the sea mostly. Love going back to Shields and watching the ferries come down the river from Lawe Top. That and stotties...
 
What I miss, - going to see the lads, friday nights round the town, the beach, friday nights round the town, family, fishing off the pier, Friday nights round the town...
 
With me it is me friends and family plain and simple. Don't know why but never found a bunch that stuck like those I made at school and we are all in our 30's now.

So all the other things like pubs and match and stuff are really just "cos I don't get to do it with them as much any more". Feeling quite emotional now sniff
