Can't believe no one has said they love Britain because of the quality of our TV dramas Grin you want a new detective series every night of the week, you got it!

Lots of people mentioned good TV!

My in laws live in southern Europe and they told me with great excitement that there was a place in their city selling chips with cheddar cheese on top. They couldn't believe it - thought it was genius! I told them we've been enjoying cheesey chips for decades!

Yes, the chip butty and chips with lasagne are two great Double Carb Meal examples.

There are some really amazing goods in the UK. My favourite is all the cheese: cheddar, Stilton, proper Red Leicester, crumbly Lancashire... I could go on.

FOODS not goods Blush
