You know you've been in UK too long when...

*You pick out a hover mower and are more interested in how long the electric cord is rather than asking the staff where the self propelled mowers are located.

* You have given up complaining about lack of drive up ATMS and parking miles away from the shops. You have actually purchased a rolling shopping bag.

* You start to accept queuing (getting in a line) as a way of life.

*You think a Nissan is a big truck

*When approaching a round-about the thought of how much easier it would be to just turn right no longer crosses your mind as you fight the merging traffic to go in an almost complete circle.

* You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear high street clothes. Jeans and a T-shirt are no longer socially acceptable.

* You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Southern Americans on TV!

* You think $70 for a haircut is quite reasonable.

* You are on to your 19th umbrella and your second overcoat.

* You buy a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco.

* You start thinking English cuisine isn't all that bad after all, I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.

*You can cook entire meal not using a can, jar,box or packet.

*You think lamb & Mint, Marmite Yeast Extract, pickled onion, Roast chicken, and steak & Onion are normal flavours for Crisps. (Potatoe Chips)

* You have given up explaining why you are half an hour late to work as no-one notices or cares.

* Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.

* You begin to believe that a family day out involves taking the kids to the local pub.

* You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast.

* More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.

* You only just realise you have lost your Sunglasses, you left them on a visit back home 2 summers ago.

* You realise your sunburn cream is the stuff you originally bought from home with you.

* A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.

While all of these don't apply to me, they do apply to some people in the UK...and do explain a lot about the culture. I find them quite amusing!
