No worries
How long have you been over here? Perhaps when you go to the UK you're trying to do the same as I do here - look for familiar things? I've only been here 14 months so its still all pretty new to me.
Things like........different crisps (sorry chips), decent curries, ready meals (sorry but I'm no chef!!), cheap 'home brand' groceries which dont taste like crap....etc etc etc
Like I say......for me its more familiarity. The size of Woolworths still shocks me now compared to the Tesco Extra we had in the UK.
I'm not knocking Australia - just saying 'its not the same'
