We do chocolate better than anyone though. In fact pretty much any sweets (candies)

Well, that helps. 
Just don't ever order pizza for delivery over here. For some reason we've never mastered the concept. 
It's not much better here. I think a face full of pimples is a requirement for hiring drivers.
But presumably the drivers don't squeeze their pimples over the pizza base and call it "toppings".
No, but we ordered sausage on our pizza once and got cut up breaskfast sausage links.

My understanding was that it was with an ax or something like that.[/quote]
I have somehow found myself at B&Bs in the north of the country, by some sort of mistake. In one I found the man of the house watching me go into the loo during the night.
At another one we arrived late night, Mr Dagger (before we were married), his sister and myself. The house was really creepy and depressing and the owners, straight out of a Boris Karloff film, presumed, all being of similar colouring that we were all siblings and put the girls in one room and the boy in the other. They followed us around as if we were about to steal their Grandfather clock and gypsy ornaments at any point or throw TVs out of the window, if we had any in the rooms.
In the morning they got a bit of a shock when they saw Mr Dagger and myself in the same bed. They probably still tell people about the incestous brother and sister that stayed in their B&B.
If ever I were to leave the UK, I would miss the following -
1. Chocolate (as mentioned by T. Walker)
2. Weetabix
3. Pointless Traditions
4. London - it really is a groovy place.
5. People being miserable to your face and not hiding it behind a two faced, back stabbing smile
6. Lack of Slums - we think some areas of the UK are bad but compared to Soweto and Rio, they're like Xanadu
7. Not being held responsible for anything you do whilst drunk
8. Football - we do it terribly well in this country
9. Irony
10. British Comedy - the best in the world, I tells ya, the best in the world
Don't get too excited Anglophiles, my list of things I won't miss is ten times as long.
A proper B&B always has signs for no reason than to nag at you about things that are either a) bleedin' obvious or b) nonsensical...
"No Sand In The Rooms"
"Guests Are Reminded Not To Wash Clothes In The Sink"
"No Budgies!"
"No Praying To Mecca On Sunday Mornings"
"In Case Of Fire Please Ask At Reception"
"One Shower Per Person"
"Please Leave Your Keys In The Door At ALL TIMES!"
"These Windows Are LOCKED!!"
"Please Leave Kettle In Bath"
"No Towels In The Dining Room!"
"Hygiene?"
...and so on.
Our Magic Fingers vibrating beds always have a sign that says "Quarters Only!!

If any foreign visitor really wants to know what B&Bs and guest houses are like in this country, then I'd recommend watching either Richard Attenborough as John Christie in 10 Rillington Place, or that episode of Tales Of The Unexpected where the taxidermist landlady drugs and stuffs her male guests.

My auntie was approached by Christie when she was child.
