I wouldn’t know Blue Peter from Peter the Great, but this youtube video purports to have all the theme songs up until the present, if it’s any help for your poor forgetful homesick self.

If it makes you feel better:

1) I don’t really know what Curling is.

2) I haven’t eaten a pork pie since about 1980.

3) I wouldn’t recognise a Blue Peter presenter post . . about 1980.

4)The District Line should be avoided at all cost.

5) I have never seen The Apprentice.

6) I was just in NYC earlier this week and suffered the torrential downpours. Here it was sunny.

7) Yes the Tube map, I’ll give you that.

Amazon is addictive anywhere in the world

And finally, I found out about this Susan Boyle woman from a bunch of middle aged women in Philadelphia! I’d never heard of her.

Actually I’m begining to wonder if I am really here .. ..

You forgot “You watch television shows that you would never have dreamed of watching when you lived in Britain, just because they’re British.”

Thankfully, I’m growing out of that one.

I like a drizzly grey day, cold but not too cold, when everyone else is complaining. It just feels like proper weather to me.

I’m addicted to Mistresses, which is also On Demand, so I can watch it without fear of the kids walking in. Partly because it’s filmed in Bristol where I went to uni, and partly because I pretty much watch anything with English accents. Oh, and it’s good too!

Sven – sweet mayo?? What is this abomination you speak of?!

William T – many apologies on the surallun front. My misspelling was undoubtedly caused by the pain in my hand after I punched my fist through the computer monitor after the aforementioned Amstrad guru again failed to fire that arrogant git from Sandhurst.

the gaffer – thanks for the comment, and I couldn’t agree more about the lack of a local. Especially when it comes to summer, and you want nothing more than to sit in a pub garden drinking a pint.

Stella – is advocaat a British-only thing?! Who knew??

LB – Christmas is tough, it’s true. But that’s still about missing friends and family for me. The Queen’s Christmas message I can do without…

Josephine – Last of the Summer Wine? Come on, however homesick you are, you have to draw the line somewhere. And that line is just before Compo and Nora Batty.

Silverback – you probably have the best of both worlds, to be fair. Just make sure you don’t blog about your enjoyment of a bacon butty any time soon, OK?

Cocktails – a cheese and marmite/vegemite sandwich? Why would you even think of such a thing, let alone eat it?
