If you could take one thing from Britain back home what would it be?
 

For starters how about Royal Doulton china, Chocolate digestive biscuits, cheese and pickle sandwiches?

Hugh Grant?

Sandi -- you beat me. I saw the title and that was my immediate response.

The accent.

Melton Mowbray mini pork pies
Branston pickle
Ridiculously strong cheddar cheese
Salad cream
Marmite

I'm told I look like Hugh Grant, and have the accent. Any takers?

If it weren't for my DH....

I've been told I look like Hugh Grant too.



Oh, wait a minute -- that was Ulysses S. Grant.

A Beefeater.

Crown jewels.

The bartender at Claridge's. The best martini I have ever had.

Just so long as it wasn't Russell Grant!

But prhirsch - which accent ? It varies every few miles.

Doesn't really matter, I love them all.

You wouldn't be so kind as to take Madonna, by any chance?

These replies are so funny. I hope it keeps going.

I live in Scotland....One thing that I am a bit doubtful that you can get elsewhere,(other than the United Kingdom), is Eccles cakes.....They are named after a small town in England.....If I lived in the U.S.I'd probably try to get someone to smuggle some over.....The nearest thing to heaven....Forget Hugh Grant....He won't give you the comfort you will get when you've tried these !!!!!!

boy, those must be some damn good cakes!!

A chienze shower cap from Boots. Got one about 5 years ago, very pretty flowery cap, reminded me of England every time I got in the shower. It last until last year when the elastic gave out. Duf, duf. Couldn't find one at Boots last year.

Seriously--I love my Burberry umbrella that I bought at Heathrow years ago. That umbrella would withstand any storm.

Any cheese from Neil's Dairy

Tony Blair - to keep George company and as a kind gesture to the UK

A certain adorable bartender from Edinburgh - but DH might have a problem with that, so I'll settle for Irn Bru and real scones.
