Civilization and culture... and a proper 'Pub Lunch'.

When I lived in England, I used to buy the largest jar of Orvil Reddenbacher's pop corn I could buy to take home with me. Also, some genuine Tex-Mex ingredients... they have to be canned... nothing raw, but I could never find the popcorn at Sainsburys and on occasion I could find some Old El Paso stuff, but it was rare.

English hospitality.

Leafs Rule!

Cars made with steering wheels on the right hand side instead of the left. England seems to have more pomp and circumstance and respect for education and proper spelling. Please send people over to help educate these poor fools how to spell and talk with proper use of your beautiful English language. It seems that somewhere along the lines since America separated itself from England that people do not care as much about learning how to write and speak effectively. It is a shame.
So please send ove some good old fashioned British Tea, Cadbury's Chocolate and some teachers.

Warm Beer is about the only thing I can think of which is available in England but not in America. Whatever you want your best bet is the States because often prices are much lower. Here in UK the markup between wholesale and retail is usually around the 100% mark whereas in the States, where many businesses still believe in SPQR [small profits and quick returns] their markup is usually around the 50% mark or lower.

Culture.

A sense of what is right and proper, an understanding of how to treat people, and, of course, modesty.
But. most of all, a subtle sense of humour (with a "u").
