I had quite the lovely Thanksgiving meal in London once. The “Whole Foods” in Kensington turned the whole market and buffet into Thanksgiving themed fare. And restaurants all over the city cater to American expats. I don’t think people realize just how pervasive and influential American culture is...all over the world!

“Armed response officers”, separate from normal patrol and never enough for demand so you are spot on.

It’s nothing. Probably just some angry descendants of the Normandy invaders pissed that shields and swords were already sold out < /S >
