I have to drive 45mins to Gibraltar if I want them, not the end of the world though as I can stock up on cigs to sell back home in UK (pays for trip):wink:

 

Any others who have returned that miss anything?

Tess:cute:

Even the Aussies call their pies "maggot bags" I was told (on good authority) Ross the gardener, that aussie pies and sausages are all "lips and 4rseholes"

Anyway, I have only been over for a holiday so far but some of the things we loved over there that we can't get here:

 

A crate of pineapples for $5

 

The Sydney pie cart

 

Chedz biscuits.

 

we will be bringing some Chedz back from our next trip in August.

Pies - until I discovered Bells :-)

Australian Weetabix, which had some "munch-crunch", not like the stuff here which dissolves on impact with milk.

Griffins gingernuts biscuits, luxury flakes, lemon and paeroa and pineapple lumps - all from NZ, not OZ, but they used to appear once in a while...

Fresh, uncooked, king prawns with heads on, for a reasonable price

Blue grenadier fish

Tiamos and Brunettis (Melbourne cafes in Carlton)

Meat pizzas from the A1 bakery on Sydney Rd, Brunswick

Friends

 

What I definitely don't miss - the weather

It takes me about 35mins to get to Gib (if no queuing) and with the pound as it is against the euro its about the same for a weekly shop. I also fill up with petrol and get a couple of sleeves of cigs which makes it worth while

I miss yoghurt which doesn't have 13 gm of sugar added to it. What is it about yoghurt here in the UK with the sugar? Yoghurt in Australia tasted more of yoghurt and less of sugar. I have taken to getting plain unsweetened yoghurt here and just adding fruit.
