What a week! We Americans worked our butts off this week, which is why we haven't posted much lately. We even spent most of today training more auditors from the ASDA audit to help out on Morrisons. Sharp group of people, but I'm exhausted! Tomorrow I'm sleepin' in REALLY late, and then maybe we'll go tour the town some more. There's a few remaining undiscovered sites to see within a short bus or taxi ride.
We ate at TGIFs tonight. They actually call their french fries 'fries' there, not chips, and there were pictures of Magnum PI, Ronald Reagan & other famous Americans on the walls. The locals here call it 'authentic' American food. Frankly, I didn't realize there was such a thing.
I've decided the greatest invention here (well, not really sure where they were invented actually) is the electric Kettle. Heats water to boiling in less than 3 mins. Dan said he has one that heats it in 3 SECONDS! That sounds like it must be nuclear to me. Can it possibly be safe? ;) They use them mostly to heat water for tea and instant coffee, but they informed me today that they use them for boiling water for pasta,etc too. I think my kids need one for their mac and cheese. They couldn't believe one would actually wait 10 to 20 mins to boil water on a stove! I informed them that instant coffee is gross, but nobody seems to care or agree. So much for the sophisticated English. :)
Oh, and Dan did say we have better teeth in America. Guess their dental health plans aren't quite what ours are...
