With my luck, it would be like "old faithful" and shoot me to the ceiling.

I really miss having a bidet.We had them in all our houses in England.
Another odd thing in America, a lot of kitchen cabinets do not have handles, odd. If you want them they are an add on.
Baths here are like swimming pools, I have given up on baths as I could fall asleep waiting for it to fill. Then I have a problem with the shower as they are fixed and way too high for me.
Beds are realatively cheap, but matresses are stupidly expensive here.
I miss having a duvet, we have a sheet and comforter here, but the only time I tried to wash the comforter it died.Easier in England, just remove the cover, hey presto.
Cell phones here have the incomming calls deducted off your minutes,that really annoys me. I can't control who rings me.
Love the big fridges.
Hate having to pay a premium for a front loading washer. Top loader is no good for me,I would need a step ladder.
Love A/C as opposed to central heating and radiators everywhere.
No where near as much choice in supermarkets here.
Love much cheaper gas
Love friendly assistants as opposed to very rude ones in England.
T.V really miss English T.V sorry I guess at my age I am just attuned to the English comedy and drama.
Love drive through pharmacy, bank, starbucks etc
Love much much cheaper clothes, alcohol,eating out,
Hate stupidly expensive prescriptions.
Turn right on red, is just the best thing ever !!!!
O.K that's enough for now

When I remodelled my kitchen a few years ago, the cabinetry came without handles. That didn't strike me as odd at the time--it just allowed you to customize and pick the hardware that you want. Now, however, I wonder whether the makers of the hardware get kickbacks from the makers of the cabinetry, or if there is some other sort of conspiracy going on. ;D

We must have duvets available here in the U.S. I remember they made jokes about them on Frasier. ;D Try taking the comforter to a laundry where they have really large washing machines.

Why is that English kitchens have tiny little under-the-counter refrigerators? Is it from the habit of shopping for food every day? In a couple of the "Britcoms" that I watch regularly, they have nice, large kitchens, with automatic dishwashers, even, but only these tiny little refrigerators. ???

Doesn't your local PBS station carry British comedies? Ours shows one every evening at 7:30. :)
