It is sad what is happening to the UK. It seems so much worse than here. Only Austrailia seems to be holding steady.

I'm sure this is an extremely important matter to deal with over there. Far more important than the current crime wave and the myriad other problems.

Now you know what to cook for dinner tomorrow night!! I think the folks in the hotel in Seattle may object.
But I can try to find a cookery that has the grit of outside cookin' until I get home.
And thanks for your sympathy. Eat hearty when you can and remember, you carry the burden of all those who would be right there!
"Massive ;)"

The UK doesn't have bears anymore. They must use AMERICAN bears to make those hats. Odd

The UK doesn't have bears anymore. What happened to them? Over-hunted, disease, other (non-human) predators, loss of habitat to cities? Just curious; bears are usually pretty resilient.

They are resilient—just "inconvenient".
