  1. You know you’ve started your UK holiday when you embark the plane and hear a member of the flight crew say “okey dokey!”
  2. You wander through the chilled foods section of Tesco and gaze in awe that there’s an entire aisle of foods dedicated to “Cooked Meat and Pies”
  3. You Google “weather in London”, and still have absolutely no idea what clothes to bring when it says “21c”.
  4. Upon deciding to call your parents, you’ve already looked at your watch and counted back seven hours before you remember what country you’re in.
  5. The top articles on today’s local news include the words “moped stabbing”,  and “hammer attack”.
  6. You accidentally bump into someone and you both instantaneously exclaim “ohimsosorry!” because it is both an incredibly mortifying situation and must certainly have been your fault.
  7. You look at a packet of Hob Nobs and wonder why you never thought about the name that way.
  8. You treat buying clothes at Primark like you do when shopping for your groceries. Pick something up, glance at the price, tilt your head 45 degrees, shrug and go “meh” before chucking it in the basket.
  9. Pink fish is pronounced ‘Sah-men’ and not `Sal-men’.
  10. You’re inevitably super late to a friend’s birthday dinner,  because you’ve gotten complacent with your usual ability to pay the equivalent of £6 to Uber into town within twenty minutes..
  11. Riding the Metropolitan Line into Finchley Road –  you stare outside the window,  haphazardly rocking to and fro in your seat – and muse on whether things should have changed by now.
  12. You’ve repeatedly tried to upload this blog post online and keep checking your mobile data settings. Then realise you’re standing at an underground train platform.
