The previous set up was crap but this one neither has or resembles anything "Spanish". Piss off this wanting to embrace the world and return it back to what it was meant to be "un Hogar Espanol".

My favourite UK discoveries included: * working out a class analysis of British supermarkets - I gave up on Sainsburys after discovering <a href="http://www.waitrose.com/branches/index.aspx" rel="nofollow">Waitrose</a> and ate better as a result. * finding out where the Polish plumbers ate - the little delis are there in the background and provide a fine feast of smallgoods and pickled stuff. Oh and every time I go to the Vic Markets and see Roquefort for 90 bucks a kg (!!??) I remember the wonderful cheese selection in every British supermarket. Grrrr.... How about starting a whadda-we-want campaign for sane prices on Roquefort (and Stilton for that matter)? Neither seem to be rare cheeses outside Oz.

I'm surprised that you found London to be a clean city--can't say that cleanliness is the first thing that springs to mind when I think of London (there may be plenty of Paris may as you say be full of shit, but they do hose down the streets there every night...) I do agree about the issue of the service charge, though. It was often an annoyance for us when we encountered poor service anywhere. Legally you're under no obligation to pay it even if it's been added to the bill, but you will usually find yourself arguing the point if you choose to deduct it. As you say, this is a system suited to the English desire not to make a fuss (when eating in groups of mixed Aussie/Brit company, if the service was bad it was always the Aussies who wanted to withhold the service charge while the Brits--myself included--would be inclined just to pay up and leave...) Anyway--will make a point of visiting some of your recommended restaurants next time I'm home (whenever that might be...)
