In the 1990s, I spend a month in the UK, driving from London, to Wales, to the Outer Hebrides, down to Dover, and back to London.

I loved the oatcakes, Gordon. Plus English breakfast, fish & chips, scones and tea, too. Before the Internet it was difficult to find good tea here in the USA. We kept biscuits in the car, to munch on during long drives, but I don't remember the red string. What I do remember was enjoying the flavor.

At the time I had an English distributor for my Band-in-a-Box aftermarket products, and he suggested and sent me a green P decal to put on the bumber of the rental car. (For those not in the UK, it means I just got my driving permit or somthing like that.). The other drivers were very kind to me. Even at the end of the trip when I drove into downtoan London. Once there I turned in the car and used your bus, tube and other mass transit options.

I enjoyed the trip, the sights, and most of all, the UK people who were so kind and friendly.

And I only drove on the wrong side of your roads one time. Mrs. Notes job was to say "keep to the left" at intersections, but this time we drove off the rural road to see some what looked like wild or feral cashmere goats and when I got back on, another approached from the other direction, and I realized and corrected my error.

Later I drove in the Bahama Islands, on your side of the road, but with US drive cars. Now that was weird.

Back on topic.

We have various ways to open crackers, biscuits, and other snack foods, none of which seem to work very well. wink
