Things I'm looking fwd to

1. Hot water at any time of the day. If you want to take a shower at an irregular time of the day, you have to plan an hour in advance and set the timer. Or, freeze.
2. Widely available fresh produce. Vegetables and fruits here are fairly horrid unless you get them at the farmer's market.
3. Decent pizza and Mexican food. Haggis tacos are a sin against god.
4. Sunny days. This is definitely a grey, drizzly nation.
5. Readily available good coffee. The coffee in this country is flat gross across the boards. 
6. Sturdy toilet seats that don't jiggle around like some kind of Sit-n-Spin.

More things i'll miss:

1. Public acceptability of profanity. Wow, do people cuss here, and it's everyone, even grandmas. The first time i heard an old lady say "I donny give a single fook" really made my day.
2. Game in the markets.  Seems like the only venison in Durham is pasted to the highway.
3. Faces on meat. I never see fish heads or hog's heads in US markets, and that's weird.
4. Haggis potato chips.
5. Wide open spaces full of people enjoying them. Our greenways and parks are underused in America, probably because we're all inside playing World of Warcraft or wasting our lives on Facebook.
6. Rain. Home is drought-stricken, 100+ degree days and sticky humidity are going to suck after Scottish Summer Which is Carolina Autumn.
7. Irn Bru! Maybe they have it in the International section of the Kroger.

Things Scottish we should adopt:

1. The social acceptability of clotheslines. In my community, the HOA won't let you string one in the yard.
2. Hot water heater timers. Much as I griped, I do think this is a good idea. Or, electric showers.
3. Outlet switches. We have some of these, but they have them on every outlet here.
