Boring ones from me. I miss the X-factor and the really great bargains you can get online toy wise etc. Australia is way behind that, but both have pros and cons... oh yes, we were talking about what we miss...

I miss a few friends, walkers chips, and cheap chocolate!

Edited to add descent fish and chips! No place in the two states I have been too beat my local. Some of these guys need to learn to cook before selling Fish and Chips I think!

As long as they are in business, they must be doing something right. Just because you don't like what they offer, doesn't mean they need to learn to cook.
