As predicted last week, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is “things I miss about England”:

  1. Not having to wonder if someone’s carrying a gun … unless you’re in Manchester!
  2. People able to spell my surname…
  3. …but when they can’t, being able to say “as in the tennis player” and not get a blank stare :)
  4. Fish & chips
  5. A regular, reliable postal service
  6. Summer – it’s not supposed to be as humid as it gets here in Toronto!
  7. Driving on the correct side of the road…
  8. …in my own car!
  9. Real beer
  10. Friends and family

  2. Also, TV without (or with fewer) adverts.
    N.American TV has ~20 minutes of ads every hour … and then there’s often a re-cap at the restart for all the idiots who can’t remember what happened 3 minutes ago.
    Oh for the BBC!

  4. …And watching motor racing, especially live @ Silverstone.
