I know a couple of your septic tanks at Ryan...they say the same thing. But, reading other threads, I don't know if Ryan is the place to go right now...
I lived the the UK for 8 years and am well aware of the sense of humor (spell it right!). For the record...processed lard is our national dish. Krispy Kream donuts are playing with the idea of a bacon double cheese DONUT! But I have had several deep fried mars bars in Edinburgh....
Does anyone think that having a US accent (of the New York variety...never lost that despite 8 years away) would be a problem for BA? It seems that other posters here have not had a problem with a Canadian accents. But I can't recall ever hearing any accent on speedbird other than proper Queen's english.
