Things I am going to miss when we leave the UK...

Sainsbury's diet sodas - ginger beer, cloudy lemonade, and (recently introduced to) dandelion and burdock. Yes, they make sodas out of weeds you can find in your yard; no, I don't know how they do it, so I'm NOT going to try and make my own. (-:

Haggis.

Cadbury's chocolate, even though I haven't had any in months due to being off sugar in general.

Rocket salad.

Jonathan Ross.

British TV in general: British Big Brother with full nudity after 10PM (and the occasional failure to bleep the one known word that they even bleep here!); quiz shows: They Think It's All Over, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, and Have I Got News For You, among others; and anything documentary-ish involving Adam Hart-Davis. TV where you actually get to think about it a bit.

The language. (At least I'll be far more amused by Buffy and Angel re-runs now that I know what Spike's going on about.)

I won't miss all the bloody French cars (and their drivers) though.

Help! I read somewhere that getting nostalgic for the present moment is ALWAYS a bad sign.
