I'm like that with television shows. We watch terrible shows like Hope and Faith and According to Jim because hey, it's on and it's American. When we were in Britain we would laugh at the prices for 'American' foods in places like House of Fraser or Selfridges. 6 pounds for a package of Oreos? 2 pounds for *one* can of rootbeer? Laughable!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312389224685100245noreply@blogger.com
