Hi Magmababe,Robmeister tells me your from England? I have Just joined today & have been made very welcome. Iam from Manchester.
Hi Bungalow Bill and welcome! This IS a great group 
I'm from the Capital...
The last time I was in Manchester was a little while after that bomb went
off, many moons ago....
Question: why do you guys like mushy peas and gravy with your chips?!!!
I could never quite work that one out, oh yeah, and also, what's with the
deep fried Mars Bars?!!!!
Always good to see a fellow Brit! 
And on the subject of weirdo British food... why in the name of all that is good and holy, would anyone want to eat a freakin' KIDNEY?

? Blech!

Hi Bungalow Bill another Brit here although pretty close to you actually i am in Holmfirth just over the right side of the lancashire border
Great to see a bigger British contingent on this site.
Hi everyone. First Magmababe, the deep fried mars bars are a little further North Scotland in fact suppose they have to keep warm somehow wearing kilts. Yes we do like mushy peas with our chips & gravy.
There is one other thing which is a desired taste in this neck of the woods "tripe" which is the lining of the stomach usually cooked up with vinegar & onions,yummy.
Hi Argyle nice to hear from you good to know someone knows what iam going through but feel a lot more positive since joining this site,think the secret is definitely staying with one look & not changing all the time.
Welcome welcome... This is a cool place... I feel right at home as a new guy and have been treated first quality.
Rolling out the red carpet for you,
Shaveddave
Argyle; is that a huge beer bong in your default picture?
Liver, kidneys, and stomach lining? This is like a preview of the new "Hannibal Rising" movie. Excuse me while I evacuate the contents of my stomach now.

Welcome to the forum, Bill!
