Yes, my comments were 'tongue in cheek'
I've had some delightful meals in the UK; I like ESB and Boddingtons and 'ol Speckled Hen.
My Goodness! Don't forget my Guinness as well.
There are some amazing cathedrals and some amazing converted churches that have become Pubs. Marvy one in Glasgow, N. London and Prestwick.
Plus, Did Dublin on Easter on the anniversary... Amazing time in an amazing city. Wonderful selection of Irish Whiskey and great fish n chips.
We often stick to common pub food (curries, fish, Sunday roast, bubble/sqeek) but love the Indian and other Asian foods available too.
I've had a great time in the UK on my last few visits. I've found the peeps to be mostly friendly and, if slow to chat, more interesting than some of their Intl. counterparts.
Can't wait for my Scotland trip (TBD) Distillery tours is my goal...
