IMHO, Reading is a pit! Tony Blair could give me a house there and I'd refuse it!

As far as Costco differences that would engender sadness over living in the U.S... ???
Good lord, I'm not extolling the virtues of Reading, I'm extolling the virtues of a huge pack of pain au chocolate and decent chocolat, two things that I find are lacking in the US!

Actually, the sadness over living in the US stems from religious, political and family issues, but I won't go into that here
