      Thank goodness for that.

      Try Baie De Somme much nicer.

        Radio phone-in shows. We aren't allowed to have shock jocks ike the US as presenters have to adhere to OFCOM standards. However both presenters and callers show polite British ways of telling someone where to go.

          What is more British than the British Museum - taking things from multiple cultures around the world, protecting them and proudly treating them as our own.

                  You didn't need to.

                  I saw the original post and giggled.

                    That bit isn't true, but it was very imaginative and forward thinking of them to know that within a few centuries many people for these cultures would be living here so giving them a flavour of their ancestry in their new home. It was particularly woke of them to acquire the Benin Bronzes; so they could show the future Caribbean citizens the beautiful artworks that were made from profits of selling their ancestors into slavery.

                      I'm proud to be British and Swiss. Just got naturalised. As Swiss, for the avoidance of misunderstanding.

                      19 - Shepherd's pie. It's tough to get mince lamb here without remortgaging the house, but when I do get hold of some... yum. You can't beat it.
