Re: What you can't get in Canada - TV
I just want to say a BIG THANKYOU to Sans for pointing me in the direction of liveuktv.com. I am having THE BEST time watching English shows (too many to mention!) and enjoying English adverts (I love listening to famous Brits doing voiceovers on the ads!). I'm getting a little confused watching Corrie in real time AND 8 months behind and I am TOTALLY CONFUSED about Eastenders.... 
Very Happy Me!

- Monster Munch
- GOOD chip shop chips.
- Branston Pickle
- Eastenders
- Malt Loaf with butter on... mmm
- Pork and Leek Sausages from Tesco Finest
- Crumpets and butter
- Coco Pops
- Walnut Cake (can't seem to find it in Calgary)
- Pork Pies
- Good beer/Scottish Whiskies - though Crown Royal is a great alternative.
- Chinese "Crispy Shredded Beef" - I LOVE Ginger Beef though.
- Fox's Biscuits
- Haagen Dazs Pralines and Cream - I really miss this one, I thought they'd have it here, but they don't.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
My husband has been on a 5yr odyssey in search of custard creams, closest he has come are the safeway brand vanilla cookies. I also think 50% of his motivation too take us back too England this spring is food related. My motivation is too prove the borough of Hillingdon really is not that much worse than Regina. 5 WEEKS TILL WE GET SOME GOOD FISH&CHIPS, !@#$ JOEY'S ONLY!__________________

How?
Do you have to go to youtube or can you watch it from www.tvguide itself?
Sorry I am not great with my computer.

Yep, I know you can in the UK but I BELIEVE (and don't quote me) that you have to have a UK ISP to be able to do that.
