Browns "BPA" Draft

I had no idea you'd travelled England so much tour!
The falafel place near Hyde Park was probably on Edgware Road, its a kind of Lebanese district of London.
I had no idea you'd travelled England so much tour!
Six trips over a 1-1/2 year period doing course work in a Management Development course my then employer, Zeneca later AstraZeneca, developed with Warwick. We were the first class to include Swedes from Astra Pharmaceuticals.
Yes, they were blond, except for one guy, and even a couple of the women could drink the Brits under the table.Also took a private trip with my then significant other to UK. I know I took her to Geales, and we found the falafel house and picnicked in the Park. We toured the low, mid and highlands. The latter with a fast, Scottish friend I made in the course, who toured us through his highlands including a stop in Applecross where my significant other became my fiancee.
Ate some fantastic prawns in Applecross BTW... at the Applecross Inn. A sweet Pub with a full restaurant and maybe a dozen rooms upstairs... very quiet... very quaint. Wonderfully inaccessible, too, with a winding, one-lane road across a mountain immediately to the south. Followed a road north one afternoon until it disappeared...

Excellent buttermilk pie and good "Cafe" food can be found @ Dahlia's in Liberty Hill Tour barely off Texas Hy 29, including that chicken fried steak. I stay away as often as possible so I can outlive my heart attack to be.

It ain't the CFS, pardner... it's all that good, country gravy...
Fortunately the mandatory side of greenbeans* counteract the gravy.

Six trips over a 1-1/2 year period ....
My brother lived in Bath for several years, which opened the opportunity(and interest) to visit annually.....which was something I previously had little interest in.....and NOW, possibly my favorite long distance destination....
And, being someone who typically hates urban living and large cities....London has to be one of the greatest places Ive ever visited......and a large city I would love to live in....
BUT......the one thing that sticks with me about all my UK travels.....was the food........
As a general rule......blech

Bath? Hometown of Jeffrey Dahmer?
Here...you might be able to buy his house that he grew up in. It was only the site of his very first murder:

As for English food....stick with the fish and chips and you will be fine.

As for English food....stick with the fish and chips and you will be fine.Just take the Chunnel and make your way to Paris. Now that is a city I could live in. Great food and sidewalk cafes, plenty of great art and the metro can take you anywhere.

Different strokes....
.....while I do agree with the wonderful food/art/cafe part...I could never live in Paris. Was there twice and never really felt comfortable...(just out of place)........and I learned, whatever you do, NEVER order the pizza......The tube became my lifeblood....but my memories of the metro are only of angry beggars and confusion,,,,ha!

Just thank God, for the "Look Right! ===>" reminders at the curb of every crosswalk...
Food? Thus the seeking of "foreign" establishments... even MickeyD's in a pinch...

"Mind the Gap!"... The Tube rules... longest escalators in the world.
On one of my last trips on my former company an industrious scrap thieves had made off with the full complement of one stop's escalator's steps overnight.
It was then I learned that the manual steps are long, too.

Food in London has improved a lot the last few years, all sorts of cuisine available. English food in general is pretty rubbish just all pastry, meat and veg
As for London it may be a great city in tourist parts but it's a real shithole in a lot of parts, ghettos have sprung up all over south, east and north London. West London is where the money is and might as well be on a different planet to East!

West End Boys slumming it with East End Girls?
Edit: Sorry, I guess it is the other way around. West End Girls slumming with East End Boys:

... but the English can make a great soup out of just about anything... maybe it's all that practice they get boiling beef...
What's weird is how good the food is in the highlands. I took to Haggis like it was Mother's milk... an analogy better suited for their whiskey, but whatever....

Of course, the key to making Haggis seem good is that you have had to imbibe a significant amount of their whiskey.
