What do you miss the most and what do you still import from the UK? (I don't mean friends and family)
I miss a good curry and decent fish and chips in that order and we still import real tea bags.
Other than that I miss Radio 4, I listen to a lot of pod casts, but I miss the today program whilst I am getting ready in the mornings.
I live in britain, I also miss a decent fish and chips.
Cask ale. Everything else I can make/get down here.
Curry - in restaurants on supermarkets.
Stuff being open on Sundays
Ready made sauces for things
A decent variety of restaurants in the suburbs
Businesses accepting Visa
Hedgerows
Squash
Good TV.
Oddjob, can you not get it via the internet with a VPN?
Village pubs and decent fish & chips.
Hedgerows seem to be totally absent in Denmark too. I have chosen (in total ignorance) to blame the EU 😈
Curry
Proper beer
Customer service.
I live in Britain and I also miss good TV.
When I lived in the states I missed decent cheese.
Now I'm back in the UK I miss peanut butter twix and ritz bitz
Kerbs, you know by the road side.
When I've been on holiday it always occurs to me that very few countries do kerbs as well as the UK.
A road always looks half finished without a decent kerb
Bacon, fish and chips, piccalilli and salted butter.
I miss hedgerows more when there's a crosswind and I'm on my bike. Jeez.

Am now an ex-expat, but when away missed:
Pubs
The BBC
The British countryside
Cheese that tasted of something.
I was in USA...
The cookie base pb twix ones aren't as good as the originals. When I was last in the states you could still get both sorts but maybe the other ones have been phased out now
Chicken tikka bhuna, mushy peas, Cumberland sausage rings, not all at once though
Radio which is available online but It would be good just to be able to turn it on in the car or whatever with no pre-work.
And daylight to late at night in the summer
