July 4th is an American holiday..hardly celebrated on the British islands.You may find some action in CGB but its not like the US mainland..hard for (us) Brits to celebrate a day when they/we were told to get out! Mal - I didn't know you were a Brit. I thought you were from LA originally.

Mal, I'll bet that you must get really homesick for that wonderful Great Britain cuisine, and weather - huh?. I may have said this before and, if so, apologies, but I'll accept no criticism of British cuisine from the home of Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, IHOP etc Oh, and by the way, forecast for here in the original Worcester is 80-85f and sunny for the rest of the week.

Americans will say funny things. Once shepherding a group to the BVI I was asked what currency they use. I explained they use the US dollar. She replied, “Wow, that makes things easy, do you know the current exchange rate”! lol, George!

I think that, as with music, one’s favorite cuisine has a lot to do with what you grew up with. I’m glad I’m from New Orleans.☺️

Who can forget Mike Beswick ( Jeannius) tasting a Triscuit for the first time. He bit into the Trisicuit and then tore off park of the box it came in and ate it."Just as I thought," said Mike,"the cardboard tastes better!!"
