Yes, that is all I miss. My relatives bring me out a Tesco bag of stuff when they visit, as I never go back to England. English teabags, gingernuts and a Christmas pudding was my last consignment. I've found a shop locally where I can get Heinz baked beans, so my family will have lighter hand luggage in future!

Having left the U.K 50 years ago what I miss most is the appalling service , rudeness in stores and general could,nt care less atitudes.
Oh a cost of living that would curl any ones hair , paying to park in front of your own house and ,in my old home town ,property prices that are astronomical.
I certainly dont miss those awful baked beans that are served with almost every meal.

OH MY don't get me started!!!!! I live in Australia now, been here 2 years and am on the verge of returning. I miss snow, the beautiful English countryside, the quaint towns of North Yorkshire, sausages, bacon, Warburton's bread, English pubs, a summer's day, village cricket, TESCO, NEXT, Thomas the Baker, walking in my old city, York Minster, but most of all my Mum, Dad, brother, Nana, Grandpa and my friends..... :-(

I miss the hefty poll tax bills, how expensive it is too live, every body complaining, staying in doors because its unsafe to go out, the bad weather. theres lots of things I miss but not baked beans & digestives, you can buy them here in Turkey. Thanks for this question, it has just reminded me why I left the place, I never look back & think of returning

I miss John Prescott's dulcet tones. Tony Blair's brutal honesty? Cheap coke, Somalians and Pakistanis

A decent breakfast fry-up! Why does nobody use back bacon like the Brits? Its all yucky streaky stuff. Also, no one sells sausages like home...
