wow--this goofy little thread I started up 'cause of so many U.Kers here really had some legs! That little Gecko critter is really showing up a lot on TV it seems...and the "free pie and chips" is still my favorite of all of 'em. I guess my follow up question is who eats "pie" and "chips"(which I presume is 'taters). What kinda pie do you eat with fried taters? Fish pie? Is there such a thing? Or is "pie" another piece of Brit shorthand for some well-known example of cuisine? LOL
