*laughs* Well they've got a point about the food to a degree. Some of it is truly terrible. Then again, I used to live in Oxford, and looking at what a lot of tourists i saw eating there were tucking into; cheap pub grub, chain cafe sandwiches and hotel breakfasts. No wonder they come away thinking British food is awful.
Yeah, there actually were a lot of things that I found better than the ones in Japan like wine and cheese and bread and malt vinegar on fries, I mean chips, some pies in local pubs, etc, and places like Conran restaurant were very good. It's just there weren't many "English" restaurant where they serve cheap but good meal.
