BIG SPUDS Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 If you live in thailand, What do you miss about the UK? What would you like to be able to go to the shops and buy easily like you could in the UK? What would you like to import? Just being noisey!!! When i stay in LOS i miss UK food. Not a fan of thai food as much as i want to be!! But cant seem to find anything i like to eat. Always come back the UK looking like a skeleton. Is it just me?

Totster Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Big Spuds... you should be able to get most stuff that your used to eating in the UK in Thailand, more so in Bangkok/Pattaya/Chiang Mai etc... If not exactly what you are looking for, something pretty close... Just being noisey!!! Please stop being so noisey...some people are trying to sleep.. totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medicinebox Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Burnt out cars, miserable faces, fat slags with attitude with a capital 'A' (thumb thing), Fine rain that soaks you through, Waking up when it's dark, Junk mail, bills, polythene sacks asking for your 'clean' clothes and tinned food, the whirr of the milk float at 4am waking you up with a hard on, the whirr of the returning milk float at 4.05am while you still got your hard on, The nameless neighbours who dive into their cars and pretend not to see you, Hedghogs, Christmas shoppers, You see what your're missing.

Dickie Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Marmite The HUNDREDS of good REAL beers (not those poncy, gassy, too-cold-to-taste things). Thick, GREEN, vegetation. Badgers having a punch-up in the back garden (I kid you not!). People who speak an English that means what it says. I'm moving to LoS soon. I will need to adjust.

Its a good business idea. I see a shop doing very well in Sydney Australia, catering for us brits. Stacked with crisps chocolates sweats, ya know them ones you used to be able to get rubarb and custards, cola cubes, sherbert saucers.etc. People would just clear the shelves every time a new delivery arrived.
