London. Would be rather a convoluted affair for a British passport holder to interview at an embassy in, hyperbole aside, a foreign country, I would imagine.

British Isles store is crazy on the prices....when I asked how much the Heinz beans were and she replied 1.79, my look of surprise prompted a swift "we're not expensive on everything you know.." retort

There are rules for tea that should be unbreakable.

1) Tea should be HOT
2) Tea should be Indian
3) Tea should be surrounded by a large mound of (real) Jaffa Cakes.
