actually we DO have them (or something very similar) in Britain - but the only place I've ever seen them was in Thetford forest (Suffolk/Norfolk)

Re: If you moved back to the UK today, what would you miss?
If I was to move back to essex today, I would miss drive up cash machines! (yes I am lazy ) and Applebee's!
Anyway I'd miss:
Decent Mexican food,
cheap petrol
Walking into a bar, drinking Margeritas and not being thought of as a poof.
Being able to afford a decent sized garden
and a whole load of other crap....

Re: If you moved back to the UK today, what would you miss?
Yes, I agree with the good sized parking spaces. Being used to the American variety, I always wonder why the spaces are so small in Britain. I know the cars are generally smaller, but not small enough to warrant a teensy weensy parking space..................
