Don't interrupt me when I'm ignoring you!

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

Real ale *drool*

Why has no-one thought to open a micro-brewery pub somewhere in the south of Teneife? I'd be their first customer, as I don't share SOG's obsession with cold Dorada I must admit

Excellent @ollyvee! The first thing I did last February when I visted the UK was head to a (smoking permitted then) pub for a pint of Harveys Real Ale - bliss! It was, as it happens, a gay bar, but I paid it no attention as I was in Harvey's heaven

Tasteless cold lemonade that is Dorada is an acquired taste. After a year here, I actually welcome it after a hot round of golf.

Expectations lowered to contentment, I suppose.

Fish and chips.
Malt vinegar.
Ale.
Polite people in general especially on the roads they let you into lanes not push you out.
Efficient bank clerks that can understand what you want.
Better paid jobs, and pensions than Spain.
BT is better than Telefonica that is a total rip off and bad service in general.
Cash Back in supermarkets so you don´t always have to find a cash point.
The Cashiers have more than one speed you can get through quickly.
Better music than Spanish music.
Soaps on the tele.
Football
Argos Catalogues.
And above all a sense of humour.
Full fat milk delivered to your door in some areas.
Newspapers too delivered
Cheap sweets the ones we all ate when at school from the tuck shop for 10p
Vimpto in all corner shops. Or Dr Pepper
Balti houses to take away.
Tottie. Rugby players tall fit men ha ha!!
WH smiths
Boots the chemist not the high heeled ones.

I´m sure there is more.
