I still have more short videos from the old sunny days to marvel at:
Today we can talk a little bit about FOOD in Britain. First of all, most people will say that it is disgusting but... I don´t think so. It is true that there i svery little of a "national cuisine" and more of a international mixture so you can find dishes from many countries around the world. Remember the old colonies from Africa, the West Indies, Asia, etc. In general, they like Italian food, Chinese food, Thai food and so on.
In the morning for breakfast they usually have coffee or tea and some toasts, juices, etc. After that, around 12:00, they have a break and go for a quick sandwich, a packet of crisps, some fizzy drink, a piece of fruit... generally not a proper lunch but a snack, and this is always in a cafe, bar, in the street "al fresco" or even working "al desko!!". Remember that the basic working hours are 9-5. Afterwards, they go home and, around 6 or 7, they have dinner. Dinner is the most important meal for them. They go out very little for dinner (after all, they have been out all day!!). At the weekends they have a special breakfast, late in the morning (called BRUNCH, after mixing BReakfast and luNCH). It is very frequent to find people eating in the streets, drinking coffee or capuccinos from big plastic cups, eating chocolate bars,.... Their lifestyle is very fast and they are always in a hurry.
