I'd say, "Yes, I am. I don't see anything wrong!" :D :thumbsup:

BTW, I scored a big fat 0 when I did the test. 0? In most tests, that would be a failure. :laugh:

20 years ago this week, when I moved from the UK to the US, most of my clothes came from Marks & Spencer (yeah I know...). For Americans M&S is kind of like Macy's - one in every town and you know if you're working away from home you can always get a shirt, pants and a jacket that will fit off the peg at reasonable prices.

Anyway. Back then M&S used to brand all their clothes "St. Michael". Don't ask me why. The girlfriend who became my wife was perplexed why a 35 year old man would have name tags even in his undercrackers, and was convinced I was lying about my name!

I used to regularly shop at Marks and Sparks. It was a Friday tradition. I liked their biscuits. All of them. The holiday tins were a treat. Mincemeat tarts. A pack of ginger snaps would be polished off in one sitting. I don't know if food can be shipped to North America.

Can’t say I ever had it.

Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal, especially pork (traditionally pig's heart, liver, and fatty belly meat or bacon) together with herbs for flavouring and sometimes added bread crumbs. The one below is wrapped in bacon. Offal normally includes chitlins, aka port intestine, and brains.
