Hello to everyone, I’m here t to make new friends and discuss topical political news.
After a career working for the British government i am a tired civil servant. Living in London I think I have a finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the U.K.
No Webb Ellis Trophy, NO ASHES,.............................................................I'd say that you get a Participation Trophy but welcome. Brexit is the best thing that could happen to your world.

I lived in London for a short while; loved it.

Our woolies had a fresh fish counter, many a time the wife was given some fish fingers.
For those who wonder what in the hell we are talking about, read up:

F. W. Woolworth Company - Wikipedia

Yep!
F W Woolworth, I can remember the original Woolworths in the city back in 1961-62 the counter was a long wooden thing with 5-10 people behind it serving people and putting the money given into one till.
My earliest memories as a boy were with my mother helping her shop on a Saturday morning, for my reward she’d take me to an Italian cafe, whereupon I’d ask for a mug of Bovril.
Here is a video of the local Woolworth's Museum. It's not that good. The videographer must have been on a timeline:



Woolworths in the early 60s was the only place you could buy army figures, I remember my mother buying me 2 for 1d
1d was a penny in pre decimal money.

Welcome. I love the UK. How are your teeth?

At the age of 22 my wisdom teeth started to push my bottom front teeth askew, it was murder, at that age I was heavily into eating steaks, socialising, eating out a lot more.
My dentist made me wait until he could take them out, by that time my teeth were terrible.
After the extractions I went to an orthodontist where I wore braces. My teeth are perfectly aligned and I have the smile of Tom Cruise.
Great news. Is that a thumbs up, thumbs down, or neither for the NHS?

Not that one again. :102:

Look to your own. The swamp folk of Louisiana. Some have no teeth atall.
It is a very common stereotype here in the colonies, I was just taking the opportunity to see if it were true or not. My teeth are not the best so I'm not being critical, just curious.

Some are just plain ignorant. Plenty of oranges from Spain.
After Brexit you can get some of OUR produce again. That Common Market foray was downright hurtful to us Colonials. It will be good to get an FTA up and running with the Old Dart.

You rebellious Colonials have your own teeth?? I suppose it's possible.

True that; eating placentas isn't my idea of a Menu item. But welcome Old Son. I'm from the Antipodes and look forward to reading about your views on a few issues: Corbyn et al for a start. I'm a conservative so if I am wrong about Corbyn then change my mind. BoJo is a card but haven't seen a lot of his policies really. I must look a tad closer.

Welcome.
Fuck the EU.
I'm not an Englishman waiting to come out.

Did you take the test?
?

Those DNA Ancestry things.

My hairdresser in the US took one. She was more English than many English people.
Mine was mostly German and Irish. Had some native american/Asian and had an ashkenazi jew as a great great great grandmother.

Quite a mix.

I live in the (former) lemon capital of the world. Ventura County. PS, don't ever wipe your ass with lemon leaves.
