Actually as the reference was, I believe, to an establishment named
Jersey Mike's, which a cursory glance at their website indicates
there are none in Canada or in Britain or in New Zealand or anywhere
else than in the continental Untied States, I was merely pointing out
that to refer to it without attribution of geographic limitation was
not considering that a number of posters here have no access to such
"delicacies". I personally do not frequent such establishments.

We who are blessed with living outside the US are burdened with
having to educate some posters and help them overcome their (largely
unconscious) attitude that they are USAians speaking to USAians only
and that there's no one else in the room.

So far, the awareness level is still fairly low, but hey, Rome wasn't
built in a day...:-)
