Homesick are we? You can slide into an orgy of miserable comparisons, or go out find things that you like about being here and appreciate the differences - you'll feel so much happier......... and honestly, if you are from Barking, it must be a relief to move away from there!

Ale and a decent carvery...freedom of expression (like being able to snog your lady in public) and being able to wear a nice jacket for half the year :)

Miss the driving too.

I think they should ban snogging and PDAs in the UK. Especially around meal-times.

In Dubai, you can get the Sunday Times delivered to your door on a Sunday (International edition which is nearly as good). The free London papers are only good for lining a cat litter tray - they are even worse than 7 Days.
