Woody, it's the residents; I recall a conversation with an expat complaining that he had to leave Bradford because the 'bloody p***s' wore their own clothes and spoke their own language and didn't want to be british'

The irony was completely lost on him.

When I lived away from the UK I was always grateful for;

Proper tea (English Breakfast or Earl Grey)

Jaffa Cakes

A box of TeaTime biscuits

Cadburys Dairy Milk ('foreign' Dairy Milk is not created equal....the UK one is the best!!)

Heinz Tomato Ketchup (see Cadburys Dairy Milk :))

Christmas Pudding (you can find them occasionally 'out of season')

It's not just johnny foreigner with a sweet tooth, marmalade consumption amongst the young in this country is dying out fast

Very much depends on where you are going - most large European supermarkets sell most of what one would miss/want, however the following might be nice.


Proper t-bags that aren't each individually wrapped.

English newspaper - online versions are not the same.

A more obscure English cheese than Cheddar - again widely available in many places - as suggested Stilton would be nice if allowed.

Salt & vinegar crisps

Sarsons vinegar - a change from mayo with chips!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
