2. That's nothing
Ever had an English breakfast proper? Like at a cabbie stand in London?

Imagine 7am

fried tomatoes (not rhyming with patato)
fried eggs
fried mushrooms
fried bread (yup, fried with tons of butter)
bacon
ham
tepid brown beans

all swilling in a mass of glorious fat.

Yum

lol.

5. Not my English Breakfast....
Ham? There Is No Ham!

Sausage, bacon, fried egg, fried slice or toast, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans (tepid! Hah!), and if you're very lucky - a slice of black pudding.

Damn. It's nearly midnight and now I'm hungry.

3. The Corporate American invasion continues
:eyes:

I demand US companies carry more British goods or more British companies set up shop in the US and become immune to corporate buy-outs!

If American presence can be felt around the world ( :puke: ), why can't we have a 'taste of the world' in America?

Seems fair and something intellectually satisfying as well.

4. Ever noticed...
Ever noticed how UGLY most Britons are? :think: I'm convinced it's because they don't eat enough fast food, donuts, drink enough soda, etc...Americans are pretty...that's why...and I'm not talking about white trash. They AREN'T PRETTY.
Duckie.

6. Wait a few years...
I'm sure if we work hard we can catch up with the US in the World Obesity rankings. :devilgrin:
