This is directed at all those of you that have moved back to the UK from the US or Canada...what do you miss? If you could import anything to be sold on a permenant basis in the UK...what would it be?

Now I'm not just talking about the obvious Tim Hortons, Oreo Cookies and Clam Chowder (or any other food items for that matter) but anything, think along the lines of things that made your life easier...I don't know, like the P-Touch Labeling System, the Bowflex or any of the plethera of kitchen utensils or living room decorations that gadgets that you miss.

See that chick in the new commercial for that? no way is she 50.......... :scared:

Chopper-Chris

honeymommy

I know I'd miss the waste disposal. Having to throw the leftovers in the bin again... urgh!!

Chopper-Chris

I ask because I may have to leave this fair nation within the next year, to go to other, more Canadian climes.

I'll see if I can drag it out at least to the Canadian summer months!

I wanted to know what to take with me when I go, here’s what’s in the suitcase so far…


1) Rollerblades and Driveway
2) Waste Disposal Unit
3) The 50 year old ‘bowflex’ woman
4) Starbucks Toffeenut Syrup

Make sure the top's screwed down on the Toffeenut syrup. Wouldn't do for it to come loose, and heve the 50-yr-old Bowflex woman arrive with toffenut syrup dripping all over her...


... but then again....

honeymommy

Depends if you like toffeenut syrup.... If I was covered in toffenut which I love, Mr Honeymommy would just go yuck! Big turn off.... Now if it was vanilla......... OK too much info... LOL

honeymommy

Oh I didn't bring much coffee with us thinking we would be able to get it here..... The coffee is not good in the supermarkets here and the decent stuff is expensive..... Loads of favorite coffee..... Canadian stored may be good for coffee though....

I just ran out of my cona....

honeymommy

I ran out of Folgers ages ago... wasn't too bothered about that until I found out the coffee here is not good.... I have found an online site though so hopefully that will be better....

I even bought my sis in law some.. she wouldn't let me pinch it back... LOL
