:scared:Have to agree with other comments, it is the trivial little things that bug you, like having to make onion bhajis cos no one this side of the pond can get it right! Having said that, some of the stuff on the list is a pretty sad indictment of british thinking...Roy "Chubby" Brown anyone?

Re: Just in case you need to withdraw application
The list was compiled, not as "things missed about Britain" But things typically British that only other Brits would understand
I was compiled as a laugh over on www.british-expats.com
It was never intended to make people homesick, make them stick their visa's in the mail, or whatever, we just did it as a laugh.
jesus christ.
