Kettles

"I KNOW they all have kettles."- u/sqarfuls

"We do. I've never, ever been to a house without one." -u/Kesly

The national drink

"As a Brit who doesn't drink nor like tea who lives with her boyfriend who also doesn't drink nor like tea, I can confirm we do have a bag of Yorkshire tea as well as numerous other kinds."- u/allypallydollytolly

Stolen beer glasses

"Specifically pint glasses nicked from the pub." -u/BaconPoweredPirate

"If I'm paying £9 for a pint, I'm having the glass, too!"-u/juayd.

Washing machines in kitchens

"A washing machine in your kitchen and possibly a fridge half the height of an American one."- u/starfishsex

"Half the height and half the width. Without an ice dispenser, of course." -u/HedgepigMatt

Sports Direct accessories

"A Sports Direct mug." -u/corrupteDNA

"Used to live in the UK and had a sports direct mug...idk where it came from, pretty sure it just appeared one day." - u/tevelis

HP sauce

"Only true accompaniment to a sausage sandwich." -u/digitag

"I'm American, but used to watch a British streamer who loved bacon sandwiches with brown sauce. Tried it once and loved it. I just got back from Canada and picked up a big bottle because that stuff is amazing."- u/agsieg

"Should only be HP or at a stretch Daddies... Other than that doesn't count. Ketchup can be any sort."- u/Ukbutton

Miscellaneous knicknacks and trinkets

"Knickknacks, tidbits, trifles, trinkets.

"Maybe a whole hodgepodge of doodads." - u/smesch83

"Whenever my aunt would come down to visit (she lived in Surrey, we live in Devon) her number 1 priority was always going down to the little seaside shops to buy knickknacks. Whenever anyone else suggested doing something different, she'd always whinge, 'No! I want to get some knickknacks!' And she'd roam around the knickknack shops buying all sorts of random crap and go home loaded with bags of it." -u/AgeOfCapricorn83

Cans of baked beans

“Heinz baked beans.” -u/SandyShortss

"Branston are top tier. ALDI's own brand (corale, I believe) is up there as well for a cheap and cheerful meal. Both spanked Heinz out my cupboard years ago." -u/WZMV

Sausage rolls and crumpets

"Sausage rolls, tea and crumpets." - u/firegodjon

"Don't have any crumpets, but my GF made a batch of sausage rolls this afternoon. They 'may' last another day, but no promises." u/impablomations

All kinds of rain gear

"A raincoat. You guys are famous for your bad weather." u/Overall_Explorer7158

"At least two, a light one for summer rain and a longer, more heavy duty one for, well, the rest of the year." - u/paigezero
