Hello, citizens!
Back from the land of scones and thrones. Good trip; nice to be back.
Things I have learned about the world's palest island dwellers:
- No top sheets on the beds. When I asked "what do you do when you get hot?" the response was, "we don't get hot." Huh!
- Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, London has some top drawer food. Enjoyed The Anchor and Hope and Santo especially.
- And yet, beans for breakfast - ick.
- If they don't sell it at Portobello Market, you don't need it.
- "Southwark" is "Suth-uck" and "Leicester" is "Lester" and saying either wrong means you are a certifiable tourist.
- 723% greater use of the word "brilliant." We tend to reserve it for Nobel laureates. They used it to describe even the BS I said. My apologies to the Nobel laureates for diluting your awesomeness.
- The only difference between a pub and a bar is the date on the cornerstone. Either will do the trick.

I beg to differ: The full English breakfast in probably their greatest contribution to society.
I say old chap. That and a blighty good glass of room temperature pale ale. Jolly good show.. what?
I stand firm in my anti-pre-noon baked beans stance. "Slackbladder"...classic.
