I don't live in the UK.
Recently a new cafe/restaurant has opened up near me. A British one! We decided to go there for a treat today. I ordered a Devonshire () cream tea and WestiePappa wanted fish'n'chips.
My cream tea came with Swedish tea (I think Lipton's collect used teabags in England, dry them and then resell them in Sweden), 2 nice looking scones, strawberry jam and ... wait for it ... SQUIRTY CREAM! That's right, bloody squirty cream. A complete abomination in Britain name.
The fish and chips involved French fries and what appeared to be a giant fish shaped budget fish finger. The forrin waiter tried to convince us that it wasn't what we were expecting because it was haddock and us being Brits are used to cod . The British owner came out, realised immediately that this betrayal of her country was up, was very embarassed and gave us back our money.
Bring back hanging I say.

to think if this isn't an act of treason, it bloody well should be?
