Re: What you can't get in Canada
- Hershey's makes me puke. I was strictly a "1-2 choc bars a day girl" in the UK. I don't even eat one a week here. The only ones that are passingly good are Bounty and Twix because the chocolate isn't that big a deal on the bar. Mint aeros are imported from the UK as are Creme Eggs (my downfall!) so they taste fab naturally!(Harrypottermouse, where did you get the green thing that throws up - it doesn't seem to be in the emoticons here)

Re: What you can't get in Canada
Having read another post about shopping in Canada made me think about food items that are difficult to find over here. To me it makes no difference as I haven't yet found anything that would convince me not to immigrate but is there anything you miss from the UK or where ever else you might have lived that surprises you or makes you smile. Or is there something you get your mother to mail to you on the sly each month?Here is your chance to confess or give us a laugh.
Keep it clean.....
I miss Taramasalata (try spelling that when you haven't seen any for over a year!)
What do you miss?

Re: What you can't get in Canada
Instead of what divides, lets try what unites. My list of things you can get in both countries... The Sun, but our sun has the boobies covered up and its 60% hockey content vs 60% soccer coverage(hope that did not sound like nails on a chalkboard to anyone). A wopper or happy meal. Over inflated property prices. Jevohas witness at your door(happened to me my 1st month in Ilford). A good time with a bad boy. A girl with a tangerine tan in February that never went on holiday. Endless discussions about the weather. A nosy neighbor (dat be me). A neighbor that just won't sort out their front garden(dat be my house cuz left hubby in charge of the garden). An STD (dat not me!!!!). An old biddy in front of you at the checkout when your in a hurry. A walmart. Bickering in parliament instead of governing. A superbug. Crocs, ewww. And the best for last, GINGERS!!!!!
