What do you miss most?
Just curious, what things do people miss most from the UK? For me it's clothes shopping, prawn cocktail crisps and a decent curry house!

My wife would answer your question with Walker's French Fries - Worcester Sauce flavour.

Cook-in sauces.
Proximity to Europe. I miss my two weeks twice a year on Greek Islands lazing and cycling around, plus City Breaks, xmas market trips etc.
But I had to work 46 weeks a year to be able to take those holidays and here I don't have to work.

curry too, we have made up for it by having curry nights between a big group of us, not the same as a proper indian restaurant though, there are some in Halifax but they are a bit far for us for a night out!

Ive been to a couple of curry places in Halifax, you're not missing out. One just wasn't good and the other was good food but didn't taste like home at all!

My friends, the British Museum, various galleries, V&A Museum, other museums, Edinburgh, thunder and lightening, flageolet beans, the local old fart who only wore a flesh coloured thong in the summer, British potatoes, castles and London cabbies.

You live in Halifax you can get prawn cocktail crisps any day of the week - I normally grab a dozen bags every trip
