      Er, yes and no. I'm from London and I'm in London. However, I live abroad as well.

      Apart from the clichéd ones like Digestive Biscuits, Marmite, etc. (Actually one of the local supermarket ships them in for the British expat community and I shove a stash in my baggage).

      What I miss. What I really, really miss is .......


      a decent curry. Can't get the locals to brew me a proper ruby.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Checking the riffles as I scoff....

        They are aligned neither clockwise nor anticlockwise, they radiate exactly from the epicentre of said pastie, to within 0.00001 of a midgey's jaffas.

          Luton town's delicacy is the Hat. Yum.

          Tucking into 3 of them now.
          Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              Seabrook's Cheese and Onion, I think they've been bought out - don't taste the same....

              Holland's Steak Pudding! None exist South of Sheffield so I doubt most here have even seen one, looks like a meat filled Soyuz Space Capsule, only a bit smaller.

                  not those horrid chunks of fibrous card that passes for a delicacy, north of the border
                  I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                    Arn't most people going to think you mean north of the M25 on here? Maybe need to be more specific
