Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
I could and did drive on the motorway at 100 MPH and generally not feel in any danger, driving at 100 KPH down the Gold Coast fills me with dread. Apparently though it makes perfect sense to be able to overtake and undertake and drive in whatever lane that takes your fancy at the time.

Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
I miss decent affordable cheese. Just been toying with a very small block of gruyere at $9.50 and put it back as I would have felt like a complete mug if I'd put it in my basket.
I miss women with quiet voices. Just where do Aussie women learn to boom like that?
I miss leeks and spring onions with the ends trimmed. Just got back from the market and had to fill up the bin with the junk I've had to cut off the ends.

I just take the ends off the spring onions in situ otherwise the overflow from the bleeding basket would be taking out everything on the way to the till.

It would be quite fun to whop a machete out in Coles and start tidying up the vegetables you want to acquire.

Re: Little things I miss from Blighty
I agree. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Where do you leave the offcuts?

I miss how they don't go through your shopping after checkout in the UK.
