I think that British food is a little maligned, but if it’s cooked well it will 
be great.  However, I am now against the idea of any food from the US making it 
to the this side of the Pond, having seen too many documentaries on the way 
food is produced over there.  It’s one reason I have no interest in any special 
deal with the USA as a balance to the crap Brexit thing.

How did we get from Golden Syrup to this?  I used to love GS when I was young, 
but it is a Bad Thing, as some have already pointed out.

Have I written before that I had a visit at work by an American, over to 
provide training in a NVG trainer that we use?  He mentioned that the British 
newspapers that he read were full of Brexit and wow, what a dreadful mess!  If 
we didn’t have Trump, he said, we would be talking about what a cockup is 
Brexit.

I felt no better about Brexit, but I enjoyed the fellowship of a complete 
stranger visiting for a couple of days.  OK, he was an ex-Army and ex-USAF helo 
pilot, so we had some experiences in common . . .
