Wash up is what we do before sitting down for dinner.
After working all day on the farm.
Right - and is this the purpose for what the British call "Washing up liquid"?
I love visiting Sainsbury's, Tesco's, Waitrose, etc. They are, to me, endlessly interesting and as the everyday version of the V&A. There's a "pleb" witticism in here someplace but I'd probably muck it up and lose my leadership post.
Alas, too many products in the UK have adopted American names since I started visiting, like "paper towel" instead of the traditional "kitchen roll". As I think of it, on my next holiday there, I'll see if I can boycott any pub with burgers and fries. I accepted the one-time ubiquitous quiche as a fine alternative to (British) burgers and fries - almost anything is - but still am happiest with a bacon butty or bangers/mash or ploughman's lunch. There doesn't seem much point in pandering to American tourists as they'll complain about the burgers anyway. (My three kids had to try burgers at a pub as well as McDonald's. Once. That put paid to
that idea for the whole six weeks and for years afterward.)
Sorry, I digress. It's post #851 and anything helpful I could think of has been written long ago by someone else .... It's time for a Hobgoblin.
