Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
After driving in Australia for over 20 years the only time anybody flashed their headlights at "me" was to warn that there was a speed cop ahead. 
I have never driven in England before only these past 6 months and I was waiting to turn left and was quite shocked the first time it happened when the approaching car STOPPED, flashed his headlights and waved me in!!!!!!!

Were you initially shocked at how narrow the roads in the UK are to drive on compared with Aus? Having initially driven outside of the UK, It took me several months to get fully used to them. The UK certainly brings clipping wing-mirrors to a whole new level!

Have you seen that film The Holiday where Cameron Diaz is driving on English country lanes? Well that's how it feels like to me even though I am used to driving on the same side of the road.

Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
Haven't had a roast for awhile, but I had one with my wife this afternoon after taking the kids swimming.
Yum.
