You can buy Christmas pud in the USA. After the advice given on here we got two yesterday.
You can get a lot of Brit goods at CostPlus world market...they seem to specialize in biscuits and candy for Brit food though. I found spotted ####### there yesterday...
To the Scot getting married to the Nebraskan...I'm from Lincoln Nebraska myself. All of my family and most of my friends are still back there. Hopefully the Husker hype won't scare you :-p
But there is a World Market in Omaha. I don't think there is anyplace in Lincoln that has Brit goods tho.
That will be me then!!! I'm heading to Grand Island. I'm going to miss my irn-bru, haggis and arran blue cheese. Infact, think I might go grab some arran blue and oatcakes now.
His family thought it was hilarious when my reaction to them talking about tornados was "what as in toto I don't think we're in kansas anymore?"
Anyways, wee question...what do you do about your UK driving licence?
Good question. Nicky and I are settling in Chicago and we don't need cars so that hasn't been an issue for us. However, in GI it certainly will be as there is no such thing as public transport in NE. Go to the Hall County courthouse and see if it will transfer over. I imagine however, they will make you do an exam and a driving test. This will likely be something they are used to as there are tons of latino immigrants that live there http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/examining
In Omaha there is a good sized Irish expat community, and I do believe there is a small Irish grocery somewhere in the town. Here is a link for the community and events www.irishomaha.com
If you want to go see some pretty country instead of flat cornfields, go up to Valentine (I think it's about 2.5 hours from GI). The Niobrara river is a great canoeing river, and it's very hilly and green up there. It's certainly god's country and there are lots more cattle than people, but it is just a beautiful area.

There must be something about Nebraskans and Scots!
Norfolk eh? I have lots of family up in that area. My grandpa's family came from the Clarkson/Stanton/ area and down in Madison (if they are a Kratchovil or Hartl they are my kin). Unfortunatly more "Jak Semas" Czech stuff than Scottish there!
How do you find Norfolk otherwise?
Although my fiance and I go and visit Nebraska, (as we are this coming January) we're planning on settling permantly in Chicago.
