Food in Britain is fine. we had an empire once and many of its former inhabitants live here! You can eat trad English fare, fantastic Indian, Thai, Chinese, Caribean. Plus food from all ocver Europe and of course the Americas. All this in almost every UK city.

I've sampled French Cuisine a few times. Every time I was dissapointed. I expected culinary excellence and got culinary excrement. Maybe I was unlucky but its happened more than once to be just a one off.

british food is fine, if you have tastebuds, and like food that fills you.

I think you overestimate Clinton's importance in these proceedings.

It'll be the first completely indoor Olympics...althought I suppose you can row in the rain :)

There was nothing but whingeing about the olympics when we had it, but when it was on everyone got into the spirit (including myself) and had an absolute ball....one of the best experiences of my life was going off to a couple of events and experiencing the spirit of the games...

But then we're aussies...not poms :p

I'm curious to know what is "French food", in the british example I used ,I narrowed to a special period where the cooking as gone pretty bad.
