Now for some of the good things about the UK

People in the United States thinks that Hershey's Chocolate reigns supreme when it comes to chocolate off the store shelf. Well, they can't hold a candle to Cadbury's Chocolate! There just isn't any comparison. I wish Cadbury's had a bigger share of the market in the US!

A lot of folks back home don't hold too high of an opinion of English cuisine. I have yet to see a restaurant featuring English cuisine open up back in my part of the States. Well, I'm not going to get into a big debate about that except to say that Americans don't know nothin' about what REAL Fish & Chips is about! Son! I'm here to tell you that nobody does Fish & Chips better than the Brits, and that's a fact!!! Captain D's and Long John Silvers and all the other imitators idea of what Fish & Chips is supposed to be is a joke. You ain't had Fish & Chips until you get over here. Don't believe me? Ask any US Navy submariner (oh, while I'm at it, that's not pronounced "sub-marine-r," it's "sub-marrin-er"), who's served time at either Holy Lock or at Faslane Submarine bases near Glasgow, Scotland. They'll tell you that what I'm saying is the Gospel Truth! :-)

And here's something I've been told is more true of the Newcastle/Gateshead region than of other regions of England. The goddess per capita (that's the number of goddesses per 1000 people for those of you who don't know better) here has got to be a world record! Now, let me define what I mean by goddess: a woman or young lady whose beauty is something that is near supernatural. Now, all men have their own definition of what qualifies as supernatural beauty, but most all the men I've met here in the UK agree with me on my statement above.

Back in America, I would normally think in terms of goddesses per square mile. Over here, I think in terms of goddesses per square acre . . . or if I'm in the local mall, then I think in terms in terms of goddesses per square foot! And then there are the merely extraordinarily beautiful women scattered in amongst them. :-)

And those who don't qualify as goddesses here would put to shame goddesses in most other places! All I can say is that I sure am glad that I'm married and not a single man in this land of . . . well, I was going to say land of plenty, but that just scratches the surface. If you're a single man, ye just gotta come see it to believe it!!! And I'm talking about women from 18 up to whatever age interests you. Me? I've seen more than a few women up to nearly 10 years my senior that make me want to bow down in their presence and profess my unworthiness just to be in their presence. :-)

Fortunately for me, I've married the woman of my dreams and have no desire to switch her for one of the women around here! And I make sure that she knows it every single day we are together. She is the love of my life . . . and that's a fact written in stone!!! :-)
