The difference between Brits and everyone else

Oh it's lovely stuff. The mega mart here has a wonderful cheese section. They have the standard Wensleydale, then they have one that contains either cranberries, blueberries or apricot. The wife and I will have for a weekend lunch at least a couple of times a month as the French would say, Fromage, always including one of the above, along with fruits and a fresh baked loaf of round bread.

It also makes a wonderful desert cheese when having guests for dinner.
This is what the mega mart carries.

"4. Talking to strangers unprompted
This happens most often on public transport. I’ll be on a plane or train in the U.S., minding my own business, when someone I’ve never met will try to start a conversation. Short of pretending to be deaf and/or French, there’s nothing to be done."

I just want to point out that this does happen in the UK; just not in London.

It's important to realise that when visiting Great Britain there 4 not 3 distinct areas. England, Wales, Scotland and, of course, London.
London is the worst place in England

In this current day and age I might have to disagree with you on that, at least from a photographers stand point. I thing that Southend, Essex holds the title for now. Let us not forget: Innocent Photographers Detained by Angry Moms, Called 'Paedophiles'

See you guys just can't do your baked goods. Your scones are biscuits; your biscuits are cookies your cookies are uncooked and eaten as dough and I don't know what the heck but you get other things wrong too ;)
 
Reduth is the most horrible place I have ever been to - and I have been to most towns in England.

It's 10 times better than London 10 minutes drive and you are at the best surf beaches in the UK

No, our baked goods are quite good. You all have just mislabeled them :801:

Scones and biscuits are different. I understand what you call biscuits are what we call cookies, but I don't think what you call scones are what we call biscuits. Your scones may be fluffier than ours and look slightly different, but they're still sweet. Biscuits here are generally savory.

^^^^^ This from the people that put WHOLE FISH in pie as well as BIRDS? If you want crispy "biscuits" you should move to Italy and take up biscotti baking. I personally blame the hard biscuit for the British teeth problem. :biggrin-93:
