This immigration business will be the death of me I've decided.

After months of going through the seperation and raw nerves, finally the
end is in sight and the consulate interview beckons.

Only now, after pining for my better half for so long have I suddenly
realised how much I will miss Blighty.

The friends, the family, the dodgy late night curries after a few beers,
oh woe is me.

I've started compiling a shopping list of goodies I need to make sure I
pack and take with me. The chances of being able to get a good steak and
kidney pudding in california are pretty slim me thinks.

Of course, then theres Galaxy chocolate and banana flavor nesquik, you
just can't seem to get that stuff state side.

And pride of place of course goes to the Union Jack bumper sticker I
aquired from a local parts store, which will sit nicely on the car when
I finally get 'home'.



I am actually suprising myself how much I will miss things in the
UK...though saying that wild horses couldn't keep me here :D

I hate to be the one to tell you...but don't count on getting those

The DAH has to gorge on pork pies everytime he passes thru UK <g> I
think we ate the last of them on the flight over the Atlantic!

Weetabix rock. I live right by their factory at the moment (well about a
mile or so).

There is also Ready Brek which is similar in so much as it turns to
a pudding when you add milk. They beat the pants off of Captain
Crunch :p

a very unusual cereal that turned to pudding as soon as you poured milk
in it, no matter how cold the milk was. Wheatabix I think was its
name.

LOL You don't have to wait til you go back to the UK to sample these
goodies; I've found several sources for all my fave grub, either online
or at a couple of Brit stores in town. Even my local Giant has started
stocking a few familiar brands; Jacobs cream crackers, Alpen and
Laughing Cow cheese triangles, (no sign of the Dairylea but
that'll do instead)! LOL

OK, so they don't do your nan's roasties lol that'd be pushing it!!



http://goodwoods.com/ is a good 'un



http://store.yahoo.com/shopenglandonline/ is another one,
(I've not tried them yet)



As for the steak and kidney pies; well, I just can't get hold of
the kidneys, which really sucks, also can't get hold of any
liver for some yummy liver, bacon and onions.

It took me ages to get hold of some smoked haddock, (finnan
haddie) to make kedgeree and when I did manage it, it was pretty
damn expensive.

But it was soooooo worth it; Bruce loved it!! (I knew he would)!!



Anyway, that's my lot; I hope that's been of some use to someone at
least! LOL



Take care



Tam :)

I agree with you, Matt....I love the sound of "brilliant"! And Heba,
fags are cigarrettes. When I was in England, my friends mom - excuse
me, mum - kept wondering why I said everything was "neat". She said
"neat" means either tidy or without ice! LOL I had to explain that
"neat" means interesting. Definitely a language barrier there
sometimes! :-)

Fags in the UK are ciggies/cigarettes/tabs/smokes all depending on where
you're from.

As for underwear; pants/boxers/shreddies/undies, again, depending on
where you're from, (and that's just the guys' undies).



I've taken to calling trousers 'pants' over here to avoid confusion but
when I go back to the UK, it's trousers all the way!!



I've had a lot of fun teaching my fiance all the best British

He'll occasionally throw a "cool" in there, but it just doesn't sound

If I ever hear my husband say ya'll I will die from laughter. I cannot
imagine how that would sound. He speaks beautiful English (with a heavy
French accent), however it is his third language. If, after living in
the U.S., he comes out with a "ya'll"...... we're moving back overseas

Going to have a gorge fest when I go back to England at Xmas.



Last time I came through to California (on my way to New Mexico) I had
Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles, plain choc. covered digestive biscuits and
frozen Quorn sausages in both my carry-on and my regular luggage. I
got stopped by the sniffer dog (a cute little beagle!) at LAX. She
asked only if I had meat products, and since Quorn is a fungus grown
only in southern England, I answered truthfully, "No! But I have these
chocolate biscuits..." and she just went away. The meat thing is
because of mad cow...



So, I'm not sure about this, but while watching "The Osbournes" last
year, Ozzie went to what he called "the British store" in Santa Monica,
and stocked up on all sorts of English candy (it looked like there was
all sorts of food) - I'm definitely going to look for that when visiting
family in LA... maybe they have steak & kidney pie?



And, yes, I'm a USC, but I've grown very attached to the food over here.
Will also miss Hula Hoops (do they have those in England?) and Tesco's
luxury muesli and the Chinese place on Moore St.... but I did find a
source of irish cheddar and Kerrygold butter in Santa Fe. (Try Whole
Foods - they have lots of UK stuff - even that Green & Black chocolate).

We do call cigarettes, Fags for some unknown reason. That was one of the
main things I would get mocked for in USA. We also have Faggots
(meatballs) so I guess our laguage is fag friendly :D



I haven't got used to calling trousers 'pants' even after all this
time. I still use the word 'jumper' for sweatshirts and similar, god I
get so much abuse from that.



I've also limited my vocab to only using thw words 'panties' or
'boxers'. I hate the word 'knickers' and cringe when people use it.

can say "lovely" too, soooo English!



For our wedding, to help with possible language barriers ;), I created
an "Amlish" document and left one on each of the tables for our guests
information and amusement. Most Americans that attended had no idea of
the differences between our two languages. They thought they already
spoke "English" until they read through the list!



On the East coast they say "pissed", meaning mad (angry), in England
this means drunk! When I first got here I was horrified at how often
they got drunk!



Also, when laying the table for dinner and my DH's sister's house, she
told me that something was in the "hutch". I went looking for the
rabbit! :D



One I don't understand, why Pocket Book????? It's a "handbag"
goddammit!! ;)



And finally, in England:



* The telephone is never busy, it's always engaged.

* You don't step on the gas, you accelerate.

* Your tire wonÂ’t get a flat but it may puncture.

* There are no gas stations, only petrol pumps.

* You never mail a letter, you always post it.

* You don't stand in a line, you are in a queue.

* # is not pound, it's hash.

* There's no period after a statement, there's a full stop.

I've picked up some of my husband's UK expressions, so now I get made
fun of, too! (He was born in the UK, by the way, and has UK/Irish
citizenship).



I can't say "pants" for "trousers" because makes him laugh. I now say
"bin" for "trashcan"... "pavement" for "sidewalk"... And "bollocks" has
turned out to be a really useful word. We now both speak a weird
amalgam of English and American. But we constantly entertain ourselves!

My wife came home a few months ago absolutley full of herself.

She's found crumpets in Giant and bought 6 packs at $3 a pack.

Unfortunately they obviously weren't a good seller because they quickly
dissapeared. I phoned their Head Office and they said they had stopped
stocking them.



It was almost orgasmic, eating them with the butter melting into
the holes.

Funny but familiar!



Following a hilarious IM chat a couple of nights ago, I would
like to add:



I can't remember what you call suspenders .. but they are womens'
apparel. They hold stockings up.



Men don't wear suspenders, they wear braces. You know, those things to
keep trousers up! Oh, and brace(s) can also be what kids have fitted by
the dentist to straighten their teeth.



And I'm sure you have a different word for tights. Also the term
"thigh highs" ... stockings?

Brilliant I'll just engage my indicator now so I can turn to get some
petrol on my way to buy some crumpets and proper butter. I hope I
don't rip my knickers or stretch my suspenders after I've gorged on my
crumpets and kidney pie. :D:D:D

for more Brit speak, don't forget 'Loo'.



I say it all the time - and my fiance has picked up on it to the point
where he told his mum one time he was going to the loo. She was
really confused.



loo = toilet





When I was in Kentucky previously I worked at a restaurant and all the
local staff got great pleasure in trying to teach me how to say y'all.
Apparently I never quite got the knack hehe

On the East coast they say "pissed", meaning mad (angry), in England this means drunk! When I first got here I was horrified at how often they got drunk!

Also, when laying the table for dinner and my DH's sister's house, she told me that something was in the "hutch". I went looking for the rabbit! :D

And finally, in England:

* The telephone is never busy, it's always engaged.
* You don't step on the gas, you accelerate.
* Your tire wonÂ’t get a flat but it may puncture.
* There are no gas stations, only petrol pumps.
* You never mail a letter, you always post it.
* You don't stand in a line, you are in a queue.
* # is not pound, it's hash.
* There's no period after a statement, there's a full stop.

I haven't made a snowman in long time. When I was around 5 in North

Hi Charlie,



I'm not sure which part of California you are headed off to, but I lived
in Southern California for about a year (Huntington Beach to be exact)
and if you are going to be living in that area there are a lot of shops
that sell British sweets, beverage and food. Heck, even our local 7-11
had Irn Bru and Aeros, etc.! It wasn't mixed in with the other Yank
items, kind of in the back on the back shelves :)



Also, there's a town called Garden Grove that has a British Legion type
place where most of the local ExPats hang out to play pool, buy Brit
groceries, watch the footy and drink to their hearts content. On Sundays
(well at least when I lived there) one of the wifies would come in and
make a proper British meal for about $5 a plate. Steak and Kidney pies
with chips and mushy peas and HP of course. It's a fun place, I hope
it's still there.



If you aren't in SoCal then this will be of absolutely no use to you ;)



However, good luck with the rest of your journey, and congrats! Oh and I
can't remember who mentioned it, but ditto to the goodwoods.com site,
they have loads of the good stuff! :)



Cheers,

Amy

Amy,



I'm heading to the state capital of Cali so I'll miss out on the
southern stores. There are a couple of British stores in Sacramento
which is kinda cool but they charge the earth for anything. A can of
Vimto costs about $3.......robbing mofo's.

I once had an English K-1 beneficiary client who moved to the deep

while, and it was amazing to here his blend of English accent combined
with a pronounced southern twang. He's the only person I've ever known
that combined the two (and I'm not sure if I would call it a 100%
successful combination). Sounded very strange (but he's a heck of a nice
fellow despite the accent).

There is another British term (at least I think its British) that I have
always wondered about (what does it mean and how did this term come
about). Gobsmack.... what is it (I actually think I know… a state of
shock… but how did you guys come up with that one?).



As for the home front, my old roommate Brian came from the sticks in
Utah, and he used to say, this'n and than'n all the time; which means
this one, and that one.



And just the other day my friend Nick was commenting on a fellow being
shown in a story on the news. Nick mentioned the guy was wearing his
"wife beater". I had not heard of that one before, so I asked.
Apparently, a wife beater is a plain white V-neck tee shirt or
undershirt.

Yeah gobsmacked is what you said Matt! Kinda like been lost for words.
Not sure how it came about but if you imagine people being shocked when
they hear something they will smack their hand to their mouth (gob is a
slang term for mouth!) therefore Gobsmacked!!

This is funny. We are actually afraid to use JFK as my husband's POE
because I don't think he'll be able to understand them. All of the
English he speaks is with me so he understands the southern/drawl
Texas/twang just fine. He has not, however, picked any of it up, he
still has a heavy French accent. I guess all of his English instructors
were French. I wonder what his French instructors were? :confused:

Here's another one for ya then; a 'No-Dad' jumper, (or sweater,
call it what you will! lol)

This, (usually knitted) one usually comes out at wintertime and is
decorated with hideous, usually garish patterns of snow, deer, stuff
like that.

It's called the 'No-Dad' jumper cos it's short for 'No Dad,
don't make me wear it!' LOL

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!



You've never heard of "wife beater" t-shirts!!!! They are very
popular in Texas. Actually, wife beating might be popular too. Here
we use the term to refer to any man who goes around in public in any
kind of T-shirt. I want a bumper sticker that says ....... UNDERWEAR
IS NOT COUTURE.

ever seen. All you see are two huge eyes and puffy "saddlebags" of a
mouth pouting out.

LOL! Yup, those are pugs :D Zuzu has the flattest facial profile I have ever seen. All you see are two huge eyes and puffy "saddlebags" of a mouth pouting out.

One of my friends' sister had a German shepherd. I was really impressed with his training, that dog could learn anything! :)



I think pugs are cute too. I just love animals in general, but I would
love to have a German shepperd. Right now we have 2 cats, 1 mixed
siamese (Zoe) and 1 perzian (Bianca). Both as white as snow.....

That isn't a hair bow. She is wearing granny panties and the bow is
where she ties them up above her head :D

Except for the hair bow she looks completely bare-assed to me.
