Are You Alright?

Are you alright? in britspeak it doesn't mean they are concerned about your physical and mental well being, it just means "what's up". This throws me off all the time because in the America "are you alright" means it looks like there is something wrong and that i'm in need of assistance.

fish and chips from Poppy's off of brick lane. It's huge. the two most popular kinds are cod and haddock, one or the other is better, whichever one is listed first is the most common and the second one is the better one. confused? me too, hope it helped.



"crackling" is the fried batter and juices that come off the fish in the frying process that you can get at most places. so eating this is basically eating a pile of fried if that ever were to be such a food.



cockney rhyme slang adorns the walls at poppy's. the real english word equivalent is next to the rhyme slang.



i had to buy this when i saw it at the store. big saucy bangers. bangers aka sausages. it is the british version chef boyardee crap. the bangers were made out of the same stuff basically.



another example of candy land. Elephant and Castle is a tube station for real.
