    Don't know how I feel about this...
    It sounds really condescending, but most of this holds true for other countries and to be honest, the middle part is what makes London such a great place to be.
    I certainly don't want to have the buy / be proud to be British / American debate ...
    Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

        Everyone knows the British empire was just a desperate grab for decent food.

          All this after we gave you mushy peas and deep fried mars bars? Insult to injury.

            Never thought I'd see the day patriotism gets put above humor with this crew.

            To make things right, you should know I am all about your bangers, mrbeuys.

              Agreed. Simple right-wing propaganda. Good for skinheads. I guess.

                Oh, come now. I hope you were just joking with that.

                It merely pokes fun at a stereotype, much the way any country known for being a melting pot of cultures gets poked; the country you and I live in being a prime example.

                Right wing, left wing, chicken wing… I read nothing political into it.

                    I'm coming to sz for the rescue.
                    I just got into London (from america) - within hours my passport, debit card, cash, all id, etc. was stolen. (long story)
                    You would never be able to imagine the hell that occurs when this happens. I'll save all the crap about banks, phones, etc. but I'm posting because if there is anyone in London that can offer any help in any way, let me know. I'm going to have my brother western union me some cash, use his card to book a few more nights somewhere and try and make an appointment with the us embassy...it's really hard when you don't know the city and basically EVERYTHING is going wrong.
                    thanks in advance. Even advice will help.

                      Try having that happen in a country where you don't speak the language either. Even worse.

                        Flying into Heathrow tonight. Staying around Clapham, planning on taking in the Natural History museum due to so many recommendations... concert Sunday night... pubs in between! Can't wait for that gorgeous weather...

                            Can anyone recommend the Paul Klee exhibition at Tate Modern? Were you there? Media wrote extensive about it and how Klee once mentioned how »color has me«. If anything, that quote (and the bookshop) could drive me there.
                            Or am I better off with a Beef Sandwich at Borough Market next door.
