    Things I wont miss

    I have listed some of the things I will miss when we go back to England, now it is time to talk about the things I wont miss.
    In no particular order.
    Drivers, my God drivers are bad here, really what is so hard about keeping left and overtaking on the right ?
    The incredible over-regulation and bureaucracy.
    Termites.
    The crap TV.
    The insular nature of so many Aussies especially the media.
    The feeling of isolation.
    Termites.
    The lack of variety and choice in shops.
    Have I mentioned the termites ?

    I can see you've given that list the proper and thorough thought it deserves Chris

    What about the endless dry heat?

    Give him 6 months back in broken Britain, then ask him to write a list about that place, if he has got a couple of hours to spare that is

    I definitely wont miss the completely over the top flag waving and back slapping.
    I wont miss overzealous cops and their 'safety' cameras.
