Definition of Golden Syrup from the food glossary on answers.com -
Particularly popular in England, this liquid sweetener has the consistency of Corn syrup and a clear golden color. It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich, toasty flavor unmatched by any other sweetener. Golden syrup, the most readily available brand being Lyles, can be found in some supermarkets and many gourmet markets. it can be used as a substitute for corn syrup in cooking and baking, and for everything from pancake syrup to ice cream topping.
I think corn syrup would be a good substitute, although I've never actually seen corn syrup, so I can't be 100% sure - also I guess maple syrup would work very well. Anything sticky, liquid and very sweet!
Some months ago Fenchurche mentioned not being able to get golden syrup in the USA and I was surprised, it hadn't occured to me that it was a European thing!
