Country:  | A bit exhausted to read all of the thread.
The most amazing thing I encountered in London in fall of 2003 was that there was a great Sushi bar-stand located at the center of a large floor at Paddington railway station where Mr. Sherlock Holmes was supposed to be standing on. I strongly wished we'd have one nearby back home. Almost of all other things in Britain were okay with me.

Country:  | They made curry British, why not sushi? Sushi would be in London anyway, that's where all the Japanese tourists go - you've got to cater for them.

Country: | ahwell, they just traded it to the British for Suriname, can you believe that?
Maybe it's for the best or else you would have had to talk dutch instead of English.

Well, one moment my ancestors were clever the other moment complete fools. Because of them I had to learn English, the bastards ... sigh...

| Fish'n chips are OK. Smoked cod roe and mackerel are really SUPERB. These are what I would like to eat in Britain but not sushi at one of the famous place like Paddington station. The problem is that I need to drive more than thirty minutes to get to the nearest sushi-restaurant here in Japan.

Country: | I like Britain, the sense of humor is great and those Spitfires are really pretty. But I saw something in my school newspaper today, some shmuck named Nick Griffin of the British Socialist Party or something like that is coming to speak at my university soon. He believes in cutting down non-white immigration to the UK to achieve the predominately white population from around 1950. He argues that the whites were the ones to build up and defend the country and as such are the only ones entitled to live there. I find this an incredibly racist and ignorant point of view. We have wackos over here like that but no one pays attention to them. We have people who oppose the Mexicans immigrating, which is funny to me because my state of Texas was basically founded on illegal immigration to the area in the mid-1800s. Not to mention, my country was founded on immigration and to oppose it is a morally wrong thing to do. Does this guy actually have real support or is he an independent party no-name no one votes for?
