Not much really, mostly food. Fish and chips. Marmite. Fishfinger sandwiches (see below). English crisps. :(

Thanks for the Info, but I avoid Manila like the plague. Only go there if I have business at the US Embassy or catching a flight.:cool:

Mmm, burgers! I haven't had a good one in ages. It's not an English thing, but I'd kill for a flame grilled Burger King 'Whopper' burger right now. I'll have to fly to Manila to get my hands on one though. :(

I'm not really fussy about toothpaste brands, but one thing I can't get used to is that red toothpaste sold in the Phils. My partner buys it sometimes and it's just weird - not so much the taste but the colour. It makes me think my gums are bleeding! And if they were, how would I be able to tell? :?
