Back in Britain

Having spent nearly six years abroad I returned to Britain in March of this year. Things have been a bit hectic but I have a few observations:

• Brits are obsessed with buying and selling houses; unlike anything else that you buy, house price growth is measured on a month by month basis. The press seems to think that anything other than rampant house price inflation is a sign of a weak economy.
• Being able to walk to a nice pub that sells decent beer is one of life's simplest pleasures.
• Bread is better in Denmark.
• Steak is better in Texas.

I will add other observations in the fullness of time...
