I grew up in the States and we had bakeries. Where are you that you dont have bakeries?Bakeries, american's don't know what they are missing out on.
Ooh, fish and chips is a good one. And I love chips and gravy or with curry sauce.Our culture, especially pop music, fashion, art.
Sense of humour.
The beauty of our countryside and coast.
Fish and chips.
Rain and cosy days indoors.
Accents.
On the whole people are well-mannered and polite. We queue for things and tut at others.
Being able to visit so many interesting historical places (eventually).
It was raining here the past few days and I really enjoyed it as it reminded me of the UK. It doesn't rain often where I amI miss the UK so much.. completely understand how you are feeling. I’m in the Middle East and the thought of not being able to travel back home for another few months at least (if at all this year) is depressing!
I miss the landscapes, the weather - especially the rain! Haha but also super jealous of the beautiful weather right now! I miss the architecture, people who have manners and respect... queuing!! The TV shows, British humour, all the supermarkets (food is ridiculously over priced here and terrible quality) Pret A Manger and Café Nero!

Also, not sure if this is just a Scottish thing but I love a macaroni pie.

Oh my God. Can't believe I forgot this one...i miss Marks and Spencer! Especially Percy Pigs, Collin Caterpillars and they do these salt and vinegar twist crisps that are AMAZING. Also miss any of their desserts.
I also miss Next. Love their fragrances and candles. Cheap but nice.
I miss good indian restaurants, here in Canada, Indian restaurants are mostly shit. We found one which is ran by Scottish Indian people but it took us about 2 years to find.
I love your first one! Couldn’t agree more, Dutch will be the end of meI also live abroad:
1. just the fact that everything is in English.
2.Macaroni in cheese in a can .
3.The rain.

Surely there are bakeries in the US? I have seen them on their reality shows, maybe not quite like Greggs but still they have them?Bakeries, american's don't know what they are missing out on.
