Things I will and will not miss about England.

Posted by Snapple, 24 January 2012 · 358 views

So I am moving back to the homeland (Australia) in 3 weeks, and I am really looking forward to it. I was thinking today that there will be things I will miss and things I will be glad to see the back of as I move back to Melbourne.

Things I will Miss:

1. The endless access to comedy.
2. Being right next to Europe.
3. ALL the music acts tour here.
4. The history is amazing and very interesting.
5. Visiting castles.
6. London's incredible culture and heaps of things to do.
7. Cheap books and CD's/DVDs
8. Conventions for every type of interest.

Things I will Not Miss:
1. Coffee that tastes like dirt.
2. EXTREMELY poor choices when it comes to eating out. (Curry or roast? Curry or roast? ERGHH!)
3. English people asking me 'Where are you from originally?' ARGH NOT AGAIN.
4. Overcast. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
5. Can't feel my toes, haven't been able to feel them for months.
6. THE BUS. THAT IS ALL.
7. STUPID people asking me idiotic questions like 'Sushi? Isn't that raw fish?' IS THIS 1990? GET WITH THE TIMES!
8. Being sick all the time because I don't get enough sun.
9. East London. YUCK.
10. Education? Only if you're rich!
11. The English thinking they have good food. Hilarious. England, your food is probably the worst in the Western world. Don't even dare compare yourself to Germany or Australia (like David Mitchell did, idiot, he's probably just suffering from 'I'm an English git' syndrome) - because they both kick your ass in the food department.


This country, great to visit, not super good to live.

Regarding food and drinks I had similar experiences during my trip to London in 1998. Especially: Peppermint sauce! It's (in my opinion) horribly disgusting >_<.
XD I hate most English food. And to me ALL of London is yuck, I've hated it when I've been there. :-p

It's so BUSY!!! It's just too cramped! I was there on a Sunday afternoon after all the shops were closed once and there was STILL thousands of people milling around! Argh!
:-p That's why I like it where I'm from, there's quite a lot of the good shops but not so many that it's busy constantly. And I get to live next to the beach and you can easily just walk into the countryside. ^-^
Just a quick question because I really don't know....why were you in England? Was it for a job, school, or you lost a bet?? (Just joking on the last one).

I love the sun too....that's why London would not be my top destination for vacation.

I moved over here just for something new to do to be honest. It's been fun on the whole but this country really isn't for me.
I wish I could move to Australia or New Zealand. :-p
I remember recently in french at school having to write something about where I live. I love Scotland as much as the next (wo)man but I was seriously struggling to come up about positive things to say about Musselburgh. I mean there is only so many times you can say, "We have an ice cream shop". I think I shall cover the recent local murders in my next french lesson. ^^;
^ LOL Priceless. Scotland has better coffee than England if that helps?!
There is a reason why we went to foreign restaurants most of the time we were in England :P

I've always wanted to go to Australia.
