    I have heard about and seen your great gardening. Take pride in that!

    "Round abouts" seem insane along with "squaters" in your own country.! I haven't had any food from there that I care for but love your tolerance in line (Ques)..spelling!

    I also adore the sound of your accents and the best musical bands have come from there!

    r....with a strong English heritage.

    Cadbury's chocolate
    OH NO I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
    I am with granny on this one.....Actually, I leave this Thursday for Newcastle England for 2 weeks and cannot wait to get there and eat pounds of the Cadbury's chocolate!!! BTW, just got back from Florida last Friday and from cuba 2 weeks before that!!...lol...my family has been calling me the traveler now.....Have not traveled for years ( by plane anyways) and then all of sudden I do 3 trips within one month!!.....I can't wait to get to England for the wedding and to check out all the castles!!!.... I love everything about England besides the fact that my cell phone will not work once I am there...lol..

    I haven't had any food from there that I care for

    Well come on back here and try

    Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

    A genuine Cornish Cream Team (Scones and Clotted Cream)

    Lancashire Hot Pot

    A proper Bacon Sandwich

    Mushy Peas

    Cheeses - Lancashire Crumbly, Wensleydale, Mature Cheddar, Cornish Yarg, Stilton and many more

    Bubble and Squeak

    Trifle

    Spotted Dick and Custard (yes ...really!!)

    Manchester Tart

    I'm not a big fan of English food because i'm a trained chef and the French are and always will be the Masters, but the above may make you want to revisit

    Peace

    Green & Blacks were bought buy Cadbury a while ago. Call me snobbish if you like but I'd noticed a difference in the taste and 'buzz' their dark chocolate used to give me long before I knew they'd been bought out. I doubt it's 70% cocoa solids now. :(

    Love:

    London
    Weather (yes some of us like the rain ;) )
    Countryside

    Hate:

    Chavs and the whole non-working class and the way they rapidly bring a nice area down.
    Public transport. Over-priced and unreliable.
    British cuisine. Where did it go?

    Ignored.
