Tea should be served strong, in a tall glass filled with ice and without sugar or fruit. -=jd=- -- My Current Disposable Email: (Remove YOUR HAT to reply directly) Being perfectly honest which restaraunts have you tried in the UK?? Some pub grub can be amazing but it depends where you are, like anything. Ive had pub grub you wouldnt want to look at never mind eat and other places it was well tasty. I know some of the restaraunts in London you would need a stomach pump afterwards or a hospital stay .. As for Tea, you cant beat a nice hot cup with one sugar and milk. Coffee's ok too but i tend to drink tea at home and coffee at work. As for serving cold tea with ice and sugar and fruit, ive never tried it but you couldnt really describe that as a pot of Tea Theres also some very nice sandwich bars too which specialises in all sorts of sandwiches and french sticks..etc... its just a matter of where youve visited.. If you ever get to Birmingham on your travels try one of the Balti Houses.... they can be excellent. Look at it first though and make sure in your mind it looks a clean well run place... you know what these foriegners are like ;o) |

Never had cold toast in a rack... ive always eaten mine hot.... Thereagain, tea should be served Hot in a Pot not cold in a glass... we all do things slightly different to each other. Being brought up one way doesnt mean the other way is wrong... pancakes should have lemon and sugar on them not maple syrup... we could go on... |

The people who came into contact with The British Empire learnt "well some of you did" how to become civilised. In other words, were enslaved. No thanks. Americans enslaved blacks and nearly wiped out the Native Americans because they wanted to take the land... the wars with the north and south, confederates and yankies were some of the nastiest and uncivilised conflicts in your history and you were well established as Americans at that time and was not down to the British Empire.... i dont know where you learned your history but wherever it was.. if it was... id sue them (hope that wasnt too cheap a shot) If it wasnt for the Likes of the British Empire you would be running round in animalskin pants with a spear and live in a mud hut.... so blow it out your ass chummy......... You have a nice day now, you hear ... |

Have a look http://www.restaurantspy.com/uk/lond...sonsstrand.htm http://www.365tickets.com/attraction...379&afid=veyzk So i would say yes indeed. I can imagine both these to be expensive to use but they both look very tempting. |

Later, they discovered that they could sell or trade their slaves for things that they wanted with the ships that arrived on the African coast to trade goods. A lot of those ships were from England, and they took the slaves to other places to sell them. -- ? Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |

Yes i know all about the wal-marts... over here its ASDA which although it isnt as comprehensive as what you have over there its along the same lines. Still suprising though that an item such as a gun, especially a 9mm can be picked up so easily as anything else you wish to buy. The sale of guns seems so casual its no wonder the Police act the way they do when stopping a vehical. I have watched lots of the American reality cop programmes and thought wow, how over the top is that arrest but when you stop and think these guys could have .. like you say.. bought a 9mm while picking up some groceries and with the amount of Nuts you have wandering the streets of the US its no wonder they take no chances. Oh we get our nuts over here too and i dont know whether its actually getting worse or with the media today its a lot more publicised than in the past but a swift squirt of CS gas or whatever they use normally does the job... wouldnt work against an armed villan as you would be shot while getting the spray out but fortunately most of our villans arent armed especially the screwball ones. Well, not with guns anyhow... |

Unlike the US and although gun crime in the UK is growing were nowhere near in as much trouble as to need every officer to be gun bearing.. So, they will wait till a lot more officers die before thinking about arming them properly? Typical. No wonder they don't eat doughnuts. They are too busy looking for the perp who is going to kill them while they are not permitted to protect themselves. They are so nervous they can't hold on to a nice, big doughnuts and cup of hot coffee without dropping the doughnuts and getting coffee all over their uniforms. and what was that i heard on the news.... supermarkets were robbed of their guns by looters...... supermarkets sell guns ???? what sort of crazy **** is that?? I have NEVER seen any guns or ammunition for sale in any supermarket in any state that I have been in. That is as stupid as a gun store selling doughnuts. On the other hand, some Wal-Mart department stores do sell guns and their super stores do sell food, but that still isn't a "Supermarket selling guns" and several Wal-Mart stores were looted in New Orleans. youll be giving them away free with every box of bran flakes next ;o) No, breakfast cereal here is too cheap for them to be able to do that. Maybe they will let you collect 500 box tops and get a box of bullets, someday. I did heard about the salesman throwing in a free gun rack when someone bought a new pickup truck. ;-) -- ? Michael A.
