Was looking at the pukka tukka thread and it made me start thinking about things I miss from uk...so what do you all miss....

Robinson's cordial
Curry chips (think this may just be an NI thing! It's basically chips with curry sauce and you get it in chinese takeaways. Never found it in England)
Oasis, Topshop and warehouse
Bread that doesn't go mouldy within a day of buying (anyone else find that?)
M&S tomato and mascarpone pasta sauce
Sainsbury's choc
the street of vegetarian indian restaurants in London (can't remember the street name, they also do fantastic indian sweets)
vaporesse
Boots
M&S sarnies
Quorn
Linda mcCartney meals
Being able to drive for miles and miles and actually getting somewhere!
