I miss loads of stuff - traffic jams, general crapness, dreary weather - and am glad to!

Watties! I didn't think it was that bad, although I did only try the ketchup.
And about NZ only being only mediocre with there being no excellence is a little harsh. I found the meat and fresh veggies to be good quality compared to the UK. More expensive but better quality.

A network of public footpaths
A decent curry-I make it now rather than risk disappointment
Sausage rolls made from pork
The BBC-no adverts, bliss

Wouldn't that be a novelty, sausages that contain the actual meat that they are meant to taste of.

I have abandoned all hope and now have venison ones but even they occasionally have a bit of ewey lambiness about them.

We miss that as well. We are surrounded by some beautiful rolling countryside, but we can only look. Really miss our weekend walks in Derbyshire, particularly around Chatsworth in Autumn.
Hope you lose on saturday
