Ah, Chris, that's the problem. Brits food is generally overcooked, except in
the case of bacon.
On fast food, it's great when you really need it, but I try to avoid it. I go
to locally owned restaurants, there's only really one chain I'll go to, If I
need fast food, there are severally locally owned pplaces that are more in line
with what you want.
But if Britain strikes a deal with Trump (are they that stupid?), you will most
assuredly get the very worst. Don't you have places like McDonalds and Pizza
hut there Already? Thik that's bad, wait till you get Taco Bell.

I think that British food is a little maligned, but if it’s cooked well it will
be great. However, I am now against the idea of any food from the US making it
to the this side of the Pond, having seen too many documentaries on the way
food is produced over there. It’s one reason I have no interest in any special
deal with the USA as a balance to the crap Brexit thing.
How did we get from Golden Syrup to this? I used to love GS when I was young,
but it is a Bad Thing, as some have already pointed out.
Have I written before that I had a visit at work by an American, over to
provide training in a NVG trainer that we use? He mentioned that the British
newspapers that he read were full of Brexit and wow, what a dreadful mess! If
we didn’t have Trump, he said, we would be talking about what a cockup is
Brexit.
I felt no better about Brexit, but I enjoyed the fellowship of a complete
stranger visiting for a couple of days. OK, he was an ex-Army and ex-USAF helo
pilot, so we had some experiences in common . . .
