I all depends on what you are used to)) But is so nice to hear some
people have actually experienced Brit food. Some people just put it down
so badly and it is such a shame. I suppose they have only heard about the
food we had just after the war. Yes, it was bad then, but there was a very
good reason for that. We did the best we could with the little we had to
keep our families fed.

Thanks for sharing that sf and Tammy. I am very pleased you enjoyed the
fine food in our islands
