I don't think I parallel parked once in 23 years in the US.

It's been a steep learning curve since I got back - I'm still the world's worst parker.

Me too

You know you're back in the UK when.................. there are so many things to enjoy and appreciate that you don't spend half your life on a computer forum.

I know, I know there are other westernised countries that have computers.

Obviously some people don't realise they are in the UK, then.

They must be some bad drugs if they dont even know what country they are in

I think "they" are completely oblivious.

Well drugs will do that to you.

no, that would be me

You know you are in the UK when you hear "Mind the Gap" and you can get a pint of Bitters without the bartender/waiter looking at you like you have two heads....

Certainly think drinking a pint of Bitters would get a strange look in the UK, a pint of Bitter wouldn't though..

LOL, oops yes it would

I think the bartender/waiter/landlord would be waiting with a camera to capture one's expressions as one drank a pint of Bitters.

When last in the Uk, discovered that several bartenders had never heard of Angostura Bitters.

I guess the days of drinking pink gins are long gone, but Zombies, Mojito, Singapore Sling, Cuba Libre .

Really !! do you think these were "home grown " bar staff or "foreign" employee's, as I wonder if it is a UK thing.

I used to be a bartender and while we did keep a bottle of Angostura Bitters behind the bar, I only used it once when someone ordered an "Old Fashion". It is just something not used enough anymore maybe you should start a trend and start ordering "Pink Gin" next time you are at the Pub. Being that a Cuba Libre has been around over 100 years and is just a simple Rum and coke with lime and the Mojito has been around since the 1500's and some say the drink should be made with bitters I would not add them to your list more appropriate would be appletinis and blue bazookas.
