But there is no such thing as true UK cuisine, it is all bangers and
wellingtons and steak and kidney pie washed down with lots and lots and
lots of Guiness.

But enough about Brits, who are otherwise creators of fine cars, time
traveler shows, absurdist sitcoms, and who invented the art of sarcasm.

Don't forget they invented the Lucas electrical system (I owned an MGB) and
whitworth tools (I also currently own a pre-unit Triumph).LOL


Ahh, Joseph Lucas...the prince of darkness. The warm beer bit comes
from having Lucas also build refrigerators. I too have been the
victim of a string of British motorcars. Triumphs and Austins and the
odd Lotus. I even race-prepped them. I also get around to flying
aboard BAE-146s every once in a while. Just like British sports cars
they are. Fast enough, handles like a housefly, not all that
comfortable and as noisy as hell with the gates open.
