Saying that obviously British food has developed some real treats over the decades but as said is niche. It is sadly not well known to the world at large. Just as some of the horrible French offerings found in tourist locations are beyond the pale in that cuisine to say the least.


So maybe you want to reflect a little more and accept certain things are far more likely than not. The naivety is in the use of such a word in discussion of such a subject. Feel free to provide own numerical data as you put it to prove otherwise.
I had some French food in Boulogne once. Worse fish and chips I ever had in my life.

As soon as I read that, I knew a no deal Brexit was in the bag....... The man is delusional. It's time his carer took charge, and escorted him home.

Come on Jeremy....... this way. But, but, I want to be Prime Minister........

A decent Labour leader would win by a landslide. Just nuts the party has been taken over by this band of crazies.

Delusional? He's just playing party politics. If a no deal goes through he can blame the lib dems for not backing him and causing brexit. He knows the Tory rebels would never vote for him, he can't even unify his own party. If he was serious he'd have nominated a neutral with no ambitions like Clarke.

Hopefully, we'll survive the Bolton era.....

Of course every country wants to be stronger than its competitors, nothing wrong with that, but In an imperfect world, if the US had a choice between a strong Russia, China, or EU, which do you think it would choose?

The USA

Trump doesn't want anyone strong but he's actually weakening the US with his game playing now, my guess is China and Asia will dominate the world in the coming decades whilst the US's position will weaken.

Trump blinked first with his tariffs this week by postponing them until the holiday's so it doesn't damage the US economy when people are buying their computers and phones, China's seen this as weakness and will capitalise on it for sure.

I saw an interesting graph the other day regarding reserve currencies going back centuries and it was very interesting to see the Portuguese replaced by the French, replaced by Britain replaced by the US and the bottom line was its a every moving thing, interestingly each had as much time at the top as the previous and if this was to continue, the US's time is coming to an end, its currently looking like China will be next top dog.

Trump needs to be careful not to speed this up with his usual business skills.

Just my ramblings, we need to stay on topic if possible
