I went to the zerodegrees brewpub, and very nice it was too. Pity I had
to rush off back to London to get on a train.

You'll have to do a bit better than that! Try completely mis-stating some

some statistics of your own about how ignorant Americans are, painting them
all with the same brush. That usually gets a good reaction.

Huddersfield. Seriously. Hardly a tourist trap, but interesting (I lived

being COLD.
