I was in Ohio, my first day in America. Someone asked if I'd like some tea. I said yes please and was handed a tall glass full of brown water and ice. I was surprised, to say the least, and it tasted awful.

One of our neighbours kept an eye on our house when I went home at Christmas and we brought him back a large box of English chocolates. He, his wife and his three kids have all mentioned them every time I've seen them since. *g*
