What do you miss most about Great Britain?

[EnjoyTheSilence]

Talk Sport (with James Whale), Virgin Radio!!

I also miss the food, the pubs, High Streets, the countryside, British TV/comedy, the fact that most towns/cities are walkable and have mass transit alternatives.

James got sacked for supporting Boris on air in the London Mayoral elections......

I love Cadbury's chocolate bars too and they are easy to buy anywhere in the states, however, I was looking at one the other day and it said it is made by Hershey. I usually avoid Hershey products because they use certain substitute ingredients- can't remember exactly- but I think it's not real cocoa butter anymore.

Now I wonder if the Cadbury's we buy here in the states utilizes the British recipe or has substitute ingredients? Anyone notice a difference?

Cadbury's in the US is not like in the UK, they just pay to use the name. Doesn't even taste the same and has that weird grainy texture.

My local supermarket has a British section with some UK imported candies - right now I can buy Galaxy, Maltesers, Milky Bar and Aeros. I get what I can when I can.

I recall having that weird Cadbury chocolate in the US and seeing on the packet that it was made not in the UK but South Africa or Mexico or somewhere else- can't exactly remember.

I just had a Cadbury Creme Egg. On the label it says "Mfd. in England for The Hershey Company."
