I saw iceberg lettuces (letti) in Aldi yesterday for 99c each. Exciting, I know.

....That's if you can find the UK - what with it being shrouded in a fog cloud and all

Re: BE Then and now...a celebration of the migration boom..and death
As I recall, conversation primarily revolved around:
The honest truth is that after a while it all ceases to be a 'thing' and just turns back into your life. Those that dislike it go back to the UK and those that don't just get busy living.
P.S. was mr angry Iamthecreaturefromuranus ?
P.P.S. what happened to that Frank Spencer bloke for whom absolutely everything was shit and for whom every single process in life went wrong ?
P.P.P.S. hello.
- Ready meals (and the lack there-of) in Oz
- Love it or leave stickers on tradies utes
- That incredibly stupid woman on Life in the Sun Down Under
- Bacon
- Coles vs Tescos
- The quality of the clothes
- Best suburb to move to
- Whether electrical items would or wouldn't work
- How much wonga you need to live on

Well after 7 years here, I can finally say I've got used to Aussie chocolate, and (wait for it..........) when I get a bar of English Cadbury's Dairy Milk it tastes odd rather than delicious.
