Especially the lemonade. "Runner Up in the BBC Good Food Awards " sounds hopeful to me, as it suggests it's availble in Britian.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Good morning, Am-Chau! (Or is it afternoon where you are?)

Am-Chau - big Tescos, Waitrose or any decent Posh Food shop in the UK will at least sell the Ginger Beer - our hippy health shop sells the range. Where in the UK are you

Just outside Oxford.

This discussion is reminding me of the tremendously annoying practice the news has here of referring to anywhere in the UK as "X miles north/south/east/west of London". If some world-shattering event happened in Exeter, they'd just say it was "300 miles west of London", despite the fact that 400 miles west of london and you're in the sea...

John, one current affairs show on the CBC always references locations in England in reference to Reading. The reason why can be found here:
Oh and they seem to have stories involving eccentric English people daily.

How cool. I love that story.
It's as logical as anywhere else -- except for the fact that nobody in their right mind voluntarily goes to Reading. Or does that make it even more logical?

Point of information: nothing world-shattering ever happens in Exeter. Ever.
