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 ![grin grin](/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) 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!!"
