'BRITISH Special Forces have captured the Taliban leader thought to be responsible for the roadside bomb that killed three British soldiers last month.

The insurgent leader, who has not been named for operational reasons, commanded seven groups of Taliban fighters and bombers across southern Afghanistan.

The dawn raid, carried out with Afghan forces, took place in the Marjah region near Nad-e-Ali, close to the British base in Lashkar Gah.

It is believed the Taliban leader, who sources confirmed had regularly travelled between Helmand and Pakistan, had been hunted for a year after being linked to at least three other attacks.'

Correct, foreign immitation food is never that accurate!

The English meat is inferior to Scottish, and they overboil though.

See, that's the problem right there - 'meat' and 'boil' in the same sentence. ;-)

Sometimes you can find a good fish dinner or a variation of the cod/haddock routine. For instance, I often order walleye pike and American fries (basically fried potatoes) which depending on the restaurant can be great. Unfortunately, one of my favorite restaurants that served pike and American fries closed down because the owner got too old. But for my wife (raised in England) and I, it’s proving difficult to find a restaurant around home that serves decent French fries/chips with the fish. But even the Brit batter is tastier on average than American batter. One area I’ll concede you Brits have the advantage on us Yanks. Plus, I can’t find Vimto anywhere in the States.
