Same here too ... Guy I know, Eddie Walker from Preston, has a pub and a fish and chip shop. And Canadian beer is good ... better, it is second to none ... and Canadians are dedicated beer drinkers; we even named our May long weekend after a case of beer
But the question. It's not that simple. Ok, I know that I have this habit of turning simple questions into complex debates, usually with myself.
But a lot of the things I miss are no longer there. Going to catch a bus to Accy, and not getting past the Village Blacksmith. The smell of the Stink.
Accy Railway Station on a cool, drizzly day, with an old shunter wheezing away and then clanking around aimlessly .... It seems as if the question is way similar to "What do you miss from your childhood and youth"? That's now a foreign country; and maybe we are all strangers in a strange land.
But I would really like some real black puddings ... and a chocolate selection box ... the chocolate is different over there. Funny how lots of people miss certain food items.
