Re: What are you missing from the UK?
Apart from the usual family etc, I agree with the lack of xmas atmosphere..
I'm missing the sparkly, frosty pavements (but I'm not missing scraping my car or having to wear gloves!)
I miss germolene (sad, I know).. not quite found the aussie equivalent yet!
And decent, vlaue for money undies!! I'm ordering a years supply of M&S undies while they have their £10 delivery charge over xmas...
That's it.. not missing anything else at all... (We've even got used to the TV
)

Re: What are you missing from the UK?
I would like a full night of UK soaps/TV (cant afford foxtel), and I am not normally a pub goer in the UK but I would like just on this occasion to visit a pub with the word 'Head' or 'Arms' in it as in Kings Head, Queens Head, Coat of Arms, and I would like that pub to NOT have that TAB shit in it or whatever its called.
I would like the pub to have dimmed lights, steamed windows from the cold and frost outside, sparkling xmas decorations and the usual xmas tunes playing.
I want to be 'freeze my nips off' cold and walk into that pub and feel that initial 'Oooh its nice and warm in here'.
But this would only suffice for one weekend perhaps and then I could go back to the hot weather.
If that is OK of course.
