Buying flowers that smell of nothing
Coolness in people: the attitude, the look – it’d be wasted here
Covered shoes
Awkward social encounters – the French bises just make it so much easier to greet
Bitching about tv/ radio people we don’t even know
Not having ball boys at the tennis club
Unforthcoming men
Dark mornings
Reluctant dancers
The smell of wet wool
Fruit and veg that’s flown halfway round the world to lose all its flavour
White skin
Talk of house prices and or traffic problems
Organic labelling
Brands
