One man's struggle to come to terms with leaving Wigan.

onsdag, september 1

If you're an expatriate Brit like me, there are some things about Britain you're guaranteed not to miss (like the London underground, British railways, the Conservative party and carpeted bathrooms) - and an equal number of things you'll miss like crazy (cheese, a nice cup of tea, the BBC, marmite and people smiling).

A friend of a friend has started a service that will make at least one aspect of being an expat Brit easier. She has a small sweet shop that specialises in old-fashioned traditional British sweets like pear drops, sherbet lemons, wine gums and lots more. Her shop is like a cornucopia of delights from the old days - and I spent a lot more money in there this weekend than I should have done.

Best of all, she offers an online shopping option and will deliver to any part of the world. So if you crave Wham bars in Wellington or Sherbet Dib Dabs in Delhi, this is the place for you.
