@namastereciprocity4549 I ate at the famous Dallas tower resto and was very pleased with the food, I have to say. I have also eaten some fantastic Mexican food and Asian food out there. Sadly, much of what I was served was just big portions of bland stuff.

@umiluv So you are saying that everyone in the UK government fits a stereotype?

These two guys are perfect illustrations of a stereotype. BMW drivers are another typical one.

If someone said that the stereotype from country X is fat and lazy, not very clever, has appalling taste, eats huge meals of tasteless food, would not know a decent car if it ran them over, which country might that be?
