Jeeze, you can get Lasagne and Wine over here too, it getting more and more like Blighty by the minute.

I guess I've just wasted my money importing 15 tons of Lasagne and 100 Gallons of Cote Du Rhone from the UK.

You will be telling me next that you can download UK TV programs as well

It's only a measly 110V. Americans are too stupid to be trusted with good old English 240V, they'd electrocute themselves making the toast, or pop tarts to me more accurate.(Nothing to do with the Spice Girls for our British readers).

Jeeze, it's only 110V?, where did the other 130V go?

Sounds like the Us Government is stealing it if you ask me but still charging us for the full 240V. No wonder my Kettle heats up so slowly.

At least the British say they are giving us 240V and give us 240V.

They also have Burger King, Which should really be renamed Burger President for the US branches. But the French Fries are just like the chips in British Burger Kings

Can you guys help this American get her head around this concept of bacon? I can't help but think I've gotta be missing something.
