Brits: how much do you hate Americans

Hmm methinks the restaurant issue needs clearing up. Depending on the type of establishment you frequent, the food is slower for one of the following two reasons:

- We actually cook food to order over here, rather than prick two holes in the film and stick it in the microwave for 3 minutes;
- The waitress didn't understand your order, thought you said 'Duck Liver Parfait' not a 'ten buck steak'; the scones are burning and the chef (drunk) has dropped your meal twice (already) and keeps having to re-do it.

I think the service is slower for a good reason... they want you to take your time, hang out, have an overall pleasurable experience. Unlike here - get in, get out, get on with your life. I don't mind it... it actually forces you to make pleasant conversation with your dining companions. God forbid people actually talk to each other.

Catwoman, where in England are you? I'm curious to see if I've been there.
