Zip 10011, same zip as Tea & S.
Fiddlesticks, strange place, always thought it was Irish. Still you seem keen on the idea and I don't live there anymore. Good luck.

One of the British charities I belong to have fund- raiser lunches at Fiddlesticks, I thought it was ok, food was very average but cheap so good fund raising place.

I have lived here so long (go home every year, usually for a month till the last four years) I would like a Little Britain. That they plan it around that area is fine by me although I don't go there a lot. I go a little more now that the meat packing area has so many good restaurants although the prices are a joke in some of them. I love the Soho House although as you cannot go in there unless you are a member, even for dinner, I have to wait for invites to private parties

I just could not see the reason for revolving this around Tea & S. Frankly "thats my name", I would kill for a good Murrays bagel right now. Been to Soho house, full of pretentious people. Whoops, I will be in trouble now.

As I said, good luck.

Not sure where the word sucking came from. I said "Not very good ones"

Probably that neighbourhood as Nicky and Sean are running the campaign Now that the airlines are backing it and many British organizations it should go through.

I admit I did meet a few 'terminally hip' people at Soho House. It is mainly for British film people.

Hi...sometimes it's easy to take things the wrong way when they are written down. It's not like looking someone in the eye...speaking face to face. Many of the regulars on here have a rapport...to an onlooker it may appear to be rude, nasty or just plain terse...more often than not it's just friendly banter.

See you tomorrow.

Night Roni, night Jersey, sounds like the closing lines from the Waltons.

ROFL....Night Frank.

No, it was entirely straight-faced, as I remember it. But to be fair - it's a while since I actually read it, I can't remember where, and I can't be bothered to go and look for it!
Hey, if it sucks at least it'll be authentic to the original! Camden Town is a complete dump.

Honestly, though, I think these things are terrible. Americans only get to see this image of the UK that doesn't exist any more and it's really painful.

London and the UK is so much more cool, interesting and modern that the chocolate box (tea box?) version that you would imagine if you were American and you'd never been there. If Americans keep bringing up fog, Benny Hill and ******* crumpets, then it's partially because of saccharine toss like "Tea & Sympathy" and these godawful pisspoor unfunny sitcoms like Waiting for God and bloody Keeping Up Appearances that keep pushing this image of Britain that doesn't exist any more (if it ever did).

Mostly all Brits who go there as far as I ever see. I go to London every year and it is hip, we all like afternoon tea still though!

What has it got to do with us having a section called Little Britain? We have Little Italy, Little Korea, Chinatown etc. I would like it and I live in New York

I will quote you to Nicky next time I go and ask her about the immigrants thingy, I can't understand why she would say that. They are very good to the British community here, charities and so forth. They were amazing after 9/11 and fed the police and firemen, anyone working down at Ground Zero.
