Things you'll miss about the UK on your Year Abroad

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love la vie française, but occasionally there are a couple of things I really do miss about the UK:

1. Roast Dinners
Meat, potatoes, veg, yorkshire puddings, gravy...GIMME!



2. Marmite
Brits love it. French hate it.


3. British Television
Nothing can quite compare to the BBC.



4. Table Manners
Because back home it's normal to put your knife and fork at 12 o'clock at the end of the meal. It just makes sense.



5. Nights out
Going out on a Tuesday and knowing the club will be packed.



6. Percy Pigs
Squishy pig shaped marshmallows of goodness.



















7. Tea
Need I say more?



8. Milk
UHT is just not the same.















9. Kettles
Seriously, why are French apartments not equipped with such essentials?!



10. Showers
For some reason most French showers don't have a stand for the shower head. Enjoy opening that shampoo bottle with one hand.



11. General Britishness
Generally people being overly polite the whole time.



12. Rectangular Pillows
For some reason, normal size pillows are virtually impossible to find in France. Instead the French prefer their 63x63 square versions.



13. Mayonnaise
The REAL stuff
