The problem with Brits, especially Brit gitrls, is not their lisp or their binge drinking, nor their apparent fear of fitness centers. No, the real problem is a lot deeper.
They do not understand the value, importance of lime. No you don’t put lemon in a G&T.
The fact that the Tanqueray is brought to you by a Brit girl, with the accompanying bottles of Tonic(1) and _lemon_ don’t make this lack of knowledge more acceptable.

I think the real question is: why would anyone be drinking gin and tonic in the first place? ;)

But no, I can not justify the Tonic.
On a totally unrelated note, this seems totally off-putting, even though my search to replace WP will never end and the work done seems rather nifty.
I make sense??? Wait…did you hit your head or something? :P

The other real problem with Brits (and I hasten to add I am indeed a Brit myself) is that whenever you order a steak from a restaurant, and you clearly say “medium rare”, it arrives well-done. Even if you say “one pass each side over a candle” it still comes to your table looking and tasting like a lump of charcoal.
Anyway, rant over. Off to read more recent writings. Hey Franky. :)
Great point, Ollie. I would never dare to ask a ‘medium to rare’ steak in this country. In other words, the kitchen sucks, fusion food FTW!
