My friends and I had a wonderful time at The English Tea Room!
I had the Scotch eggs which included a crumpet! All quite delicious!!![

 

[Moozillion]

The menu was varied and all quite good! One brave friend got the Steak and Kidney Pie! When I was working in New Zealand I tried steak and kidney pie: it was basically a mouthful of liver, and I am NOT a liver fan!!!!! But this was much more like a steak pie, apparently, so they may have tweaked the recipe to be more acceptable to Americans! Someone else got Beans on Toast, and we had both savory and sweet scones. I really liked the texture of the crumpet!!!!! But it needed more butter!!!!
The Tea Room itself was originally a small house, and each room was set up with its own English theme. We were in the Britannia Room, right next to the Churchill Room (the photo of the Churchill room is above- rather than tables and chairs it had a large leather couch, stuffed chairs and a coffee table to eat on). Lots of tea ware and "exclusively" English food items to choose from! I brought home a packet of McVities Digestives!!!!
A lovely time was had by all, and we're already talking about going back! I don't know how "authentic" it really is, but it's good enough for us!

Q. Why is the Prime Minister only seen in the evening?
A. Because he is known as PM not AM!

Love to you and Oli.

At a first date:

He: “I work with animals every day!”

She: “Oh how sweet! What is it that you do?”

He: “I’m a butcher.”

Not everything still questioning the whole thing, everything I need even these links people keep telling me about they are helpful and all but I'm a person who can't read something for a very long time

Father buys a lie detector that makes a loud beep whenever somebody lies around it. The son comes home in the afternoon. Father asks him, “So, you were at school today, right?”

Son: “Yeah.”

Detector: “Beep.“

Son: “OK, OK, I was in a cinema.”

Detector: “Beep.”

Son: “Alright, I went for a beer with my friends.”

Father: “What?! At your age, I wouldn’t touch alcohol!“

Detector: “Beep.”

Mother laughs: “Ha ha ha, well, he really is your son!”

Detector: “Beep.”

Ooh. You're coming to the UK @Kristoff. Where will you be staying and for how long?

We might be able to give you a few tips

Thank you, Linda. I might take you up on the offer. We're thinking London and a possible quick trip to Ireland.

@Moozillion, your tea with the Queen looks amazing!!

 

[Gillian M]

HI @Kristoff and CONGRATULATIONS!

We always keep a packet of McVities digestives in stock.
Beans on toast is a favourite and the steak and kidney should be a steak pie, with a bit of kidney in, so that sounds like New Zealand got it wrong.
Glad you had a nice time, speak soon!
