Re: THINGS YOU DONT MISS?
My eldest being bullied, so much so he would hardly leave the house - he is so much happier here.
The roundabouts in Milton Keynes, the church bells early on a sunday morning, double glazing salespeople, calls telling me I had won a holiday, junk mail!
Oh yes, after a little reminder that it is the british grand prix - I don't miss the flipping helicopters we used to get on race weekend. I do miss the red arrows flying over the house though
(We lived about 5 miles from Silverstone)

Women who thought you were not worth knowing if you didn't dress up to pick up your children from school.
Snobs who'd judge you if you didn't dress right, or say the right thing in the right accent.
Leighton Buzzard
Winding roads ...
Greyness
Depressed people
Pigeons ...

Scraping the ice off the car windows in the morning... and that was in summer.

Drizzle ... when the weather simply can't be arsed.
Christmas ... five long months of the hard sell.
Traffic wardens on quotas.
The utterly ludicrous cost of train travel for which you're rarely even rewarded with a seat.
Beazer homes estates (usually built on flood plains) with streets called Kensington Mews or Squirrel Walk, full of houses so small you expect to be greeted at the door by Ken and Barbie.
Out of town carpet warehouses.
Little Chef.
Mobile phone shops and the gormless, irritating, smug wankers that work in them.
The way they still bang on about a football competition they won 41 years ago.
Cones.
The M4. Especially on any bank holiday.
Wading through human piss in the stairwell at the multistory carpark.
Chris Moyles.
