Some Tea & Sympathy for the Little Britains in New York?
So, the Mistress is still stateside but she assures me that she is missing me like crazy and has taken to accosting poor New Yorkers with dogs to say hello.
Of course, New York is a food mecca and I reckon I would have a field day there with all the snacking opportunities. Apparently the streets aren't that clean so that would be good news for me. But, of course, I'm not there, am I? I'm here in the boring countryside.
I also reckon I would be a big hit in New York; there really aren't that many chocolate Labradors in Manhattan. I could fly the flag for all that's best about being British (even though my ancestry is Canadian but that's a LONG time ago).
With all that good food on offer, New York doesn't have the equivalent of miles of caffs offering English Breakfasts (you know what I mean - think Spain, Greece, Turkey - holiday destinations that give the Little Britains what they want - any which way - as long as it's fried).
But it does have two classic British venues where everyone can enjoy a little taste of home; Tea & Sympathy (www.teaandsympathynewyork.com) and A Salt & Battery (http://www.asaltandbattery.com), which Heston Blumenthal raved about.
Well, now the owners of these restaurants have joined together with Virgin Atlantic to start a campaign to get this small part of the Big Apple recognised as ..... yes, you've guessed it, Little Britain (http://www.campaignforlittlebritain.com). This looks like a campaign that I can get behind so I am going to lend my su-pawt!
Why not click on the website and vote? After all, there's no place like home.
Woof Woof
