Looks as though Britishland has just become closer to Texas.
UK Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch welcomed Texas Governor Greg Abbott in Westminster to sign the Statement of Mutual Cooperation, hailing it a “landmark.”
The pact will address regulatory barriers to trade between Britain and Texas, helping to boost investment and commerce between the two economies and making it easier for companies to do business.
I’ll believe it when I can get Wadworth 6X from my local booze store, there’s a Greggs in the mall up the road, and a chippie in Plano West’s Legacy Hall.
And when I’m Over There visiting the usual crowd of maniacs and drunkards (a.k.a. my dear Brit friends), I expect to find decent salsa and Tex-Mex. (Okay, I won’t actually eat the stuff, I just want to see it there. In the battle for my belly between chimichangas and sausage rolls, there can only be one outcome.)
Go to it, Britishlanders. I will accept no excuses.
You’ve talked Wadworth 6X up so much, I’d be motivated me to drive to Texas for the experience. I’d bring firearms, too. 😀
So, if I’m guessing correctly, we’d trade some illegal kitchen workers here for some Pakis from over there so we’d get the fish-n-chips and they’d get BBQ and Tex-Mex?
That’s kind of what he’s saying. I hope they get a cooking test before they go.
Of course the way things work here, we’ll get Pakistani food prepared by Mexicans and Britain will get Mexican food prepared by Pakistanis
A cynic would say that any kind of food cooked by a Non-Brit is an improvement.
Some Brit colleagues talked me into eating at a Mexican restaurant in Cheltenham about 15 years ago. This was only a few years after leaving a job where I traveled to the DFW metroplex on a regular basis. I don’t think I can even begin to describe how bad it was. I stuck to traditional British foods like kebabs and curries after that.
