Re: Oh I really miss !!!!!!
Have to say I will not miss custard tarts ewwww...but I will miss....
Ocado
Cheap wine
Shopping, internet shopping, superstores!
BBC dramas (I know you get them in NZ but not on the same scale)
My in-laws
Greggs chicken bake (shhhh)
Just found Clipper tea recently, lovely!
You Brits do good biscuits.
Knowing what time of year it is depending on what TV programme is on i.e we will be jumping on a plane right after Strictly Come dancing ends this year.
Athletics coverage on TV. It's fairly plentiful and I like the coverage and commentary here.
The Millenium Stadium.

Its the subtle balance between crumbly yet ever so slightly moist pastry that peeps temptingly over the
top of the silver foil case, the way the custard, delicately browned, dips in the middle, drawing you in to its golden yellowy centre.
The way the custard wobbles ever so slightly when you put it down or the way the whole thing
squidges up when you take it out of the foil.......i could go on but the drool is clogging up my keyboard

I try my best but it just ain't the same .
These days I find it best to look away when Mr BEVS gets the urge to buy and try yet another version of what passes for a doughnut over here. The sight of a grown man crying breaks the heart.

What's the matter with the doughnuts over there? Krispy Kreme aside, doughtnuts are awful back here. Espcially the supermarket branded ones, you can practually see them going stale form the moment you open the packet.
