Thanks, but that’s a bit too much nylon for my diet
ABC News: ‘Color of Wet Mud!’ Oreos Invade England
So, England didn’t have Oreos until now and they have no idea what to do with them.
Also: Brits call cookies “biscuits”. Suddenly a bunch of jokes in Discworld make sense.
The article made me hungry.
For those keeping track…
Some of you know from the forum that my sister’s currently traveling in the UK, on a pilgrimmage with our church. And the London Underground was bombed by terrorists this morning. Mom just called and confirmed that yes, the kid is in Scotland, so as far as we know she should be safe.
My support and condolences go out to all of the families affected by this tragedy, as well as to all those living in the UK. There’s a loss of trust that affects you when your country’s been attacked in such a horrible way, especially when it’s for unknown reasons, regardless of whether you’re physically affected. It hurts - a lot - and will for a while. I haven’t forgotten how the members of the UK stepped up for those of us in America some four years ago, and I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say we’ll be glad to do anything we can for those of you who need help now.
