ANYTHING U MISS FROM UK?

Hey Bob
Yes, we used to play in Bluebell woods, cross the broken bridge over to Ely and wouldn't it be nice if our kids could go and play for hours like we used to be able to, but that's another sad story............................... I'll have the thread drift police after me again I'm off

Sorry, as I don't live full time in Spain YET I really can't think of anything I would miss from UK. I love to shop for food etc. in Spain and shooooooooooooes, don't get me started, just fabulous

I will miss Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night! It has nothing to do with the crappy Spanish version Mira Quien Baila!

Starbucks, Coffee republic pretzels and bookshops

Can't think on anything I miss, but then, Ilived in Hong Kong for thirteen years before coming here

I did miss my bank manager..... because he ducked and I didn't have time to reload

There are some things i miss but not enough to want me to go back.  What I wouldn't miss in Spain are all the people who are moaning about everything Spanish!  I wish they would go somewhere - anywhere.

I know that that not everything in Spain is wonderful but neither is it in the UK - Take Gordon Brown for example!

I used to be able to get Marmite here and now the shops only have Bovril which is a no no for vegetarians.

Malt loaf by Soreen - I brought four of them back on my last trip to England.

Jam Doughnuts once in a while.

Probably a few other things given time to think about it more.

I seen both soreen malt loaf and marmite in Iceland in Benissa last week. I also tthink Carrefor have it now and again

Farleys Rusk...... Thats my treat on a sunday - Just can't seem to get them here :-(

I dont really think I notice what I miss the most until I go back for a visit to the UK, we have just been back for a week and were like kids in a sweet shop when we went into Tesco's, putting really silly things into the trolley. I think it also depends very much on where you live, we live inland of Malaga, and although we can get some English food, we cant get everything that is available on the coast, its also not possible to buy an English newspaper anywhere near us. I feel that living here, I have gained far more than I could every miss.

Being an ex-Londoner, there is one thing that I reminisce about ALL the time until I salivate and cannot speak!!

It is "double pie, single mash, eels and liquor, please."

BLAST, I´m dribbling again!!

Hi Bobaol,

Just been reading your comments about playing in the blue bell woods between Ely and St.Fagans, I lived in St. Fagans for about 8 years until I was 19. I used to cross the railway line in the fields and run up through the woods to Ely, I remember there was a big house with an outdoor swimming pool. We moved to Northumberland from there to a place called Morpeth, but was never the same as St.Fagans.

YES!

Been here over three months now and I can't seem to find those little tubes of machine oil that you use to lubricate Hair Clippers!

I'm beginning to local like a hippy!

There is a shop in Estepona which sells Hairdressing and Beautician supplies.I think it is called Salon something all over, it has a red logo. Well anyway it is before Carrefour on the right hand side of the road coming in the other direction, not from town.
