Better in the UK

1 month in and here’s what I miss about the UK.  Asides from family (cough) and friends (fo’ sho’).  It’s not a very long list.

  1. Radio 4 without the timeshifting.  Sure, I can fire up iPlayer on my laptop but The Today Programme is just too chirpy for 10pm.  And no fucker wants to wake up to Today in Parliament.
  2. Excellent ready meals.  I had no idea that this was a British speciality.
  3. Decent cheese.
  4. Corner shops.  (They have these here too, but it’s a 20 block walk on average.)
  5. 240V electricity.  Trying to make toast on 110V is painful.

And that’s it.

  1. Any recommendations on the ready meal front? I want to know what you’re missing (’cause it sure ain’t Momma’s Pizzas!)

  2. Like those M&S healthy ones!
