What import could you not live without?

[Ethel]

If mankind never left the shores of his or her birth, Britain would be a very different place with many traditionally British things absent, including:

Coffee, tea, cane sugar, chocolate, rubber, turkey, tobacco, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, citrus fruit, cotton, silk, peanuts.

I know many everyday things were invented elsewhere, such as paper, but we do have the raw ingredients to make it and I presume would have eventually.

What would you miss most? Mine would have to be coffee, I think.

Tea.

I'd miss a cuppa too. (of tea that is)
