Questions to you foreign people

[Galuf]

question to any country with armadillos:

1: Do you believe i saw a wild ones tail in england.

2: ARE THE EEVEN COOLER IRL

They're gross and literally carry Leprosy here in the Southern US.

WAAAAAA



whats leprosy

[Freya]

It's a Nerve and skin damaging disease that used to not be "curable" and disfigured many in ages past. I think the bible even mentions it.

Basically what i'm telling you is we kill them a lot around here hahaha

I don't. I can't kill things. But I know lots who do. They don't want their livestock or whatever to get sick.

Taco Bell - It is pretty bad but it's ridiculously cheap, so college kids and high school kids love the crap out of it. We also like Chipotle and Qdoba though I prefer Chipotle because it actually has flavor. Course even that fast food has issues since a 1500 calorie burrito is not really healthy at all not to mention the company has a bad rep for food born illness outbreaks every few months or so. Course all of the above is better than the food at Casa Bonita.

Armadillos - They are cute, but as Freya said, they carry diseases so people tend to avoid them.

Pumpkins - It's just more convenient to go with can goods. Not many people make their own food completely from scratch over here and those who do, usually whine about how expensive it is. It doesn't help that most pumpkins you do see in stores are purely for decorations in Halloween, so they were bred to be big and bright orange, but their flavor leaves much to be desired. You would probably have to go to a specialty store to purchase pumpkins raised for food, or you can just buy the can/pie itself.

Also, yes, the best chocolates I've ever had was always European. Our chocolate is okay, but doesn't really compare to what you can get in the Old World.

[Freya]

Oh yeah our chocolate is trash compared to Europe.

back home as of late Cougars have been destroying livestock and people have been shooting them to keep them away. Wolves are also a big issue up there. They are just brutal killers too. Wolves bite in the back of the ankle to make it so their prey can't run, then they eat the young to silence it. Then start eating the thing alive. I have seen it a few times and it is just nasty.

Europe - Do you ever have to deal with Tornadoes?

[Freya]

The cell phone service in the UK is problematic in places, depending on the service provider. Distance is rarely the issue it's more a case of: Say EE own all the masts in your area and no planning permission is going to be given for more masts. Well you had better use EE if you want signal at home because O2 for example, may not be willing to pay for rental on those masts depending on customer numbers. However, you could work somewhere where you get trout signal or regularly go places where you get trout signal on EE but your buddy on O2 has perfect signal because of the same thing. And that's inner city, not even going rural at this point.

Currently, the best phone provider in the UK in terms of signal is definitely EE, though they know it and tend to be the most gouging of the providers. This is simply because they have all the old Orange and the old T-Mobile masts (they merged to form EE) I recognize that other providers are improving as a whole but damn, you'd have thought that a country what loves to mandate things to be better (the old BT Open Reach mandate for faster internet access for the whole country comes to mind) they're pretty slow at forcing signal improvements on all networks across the UK.

As for Tacos and Burritos, sure we got them, we get places like Chipotle same as you guys. Though Tortilla is a better place in the UK, don't know if you Americans get that particular chain but that's my go to for a Burrito

Europe - Do you ever have to deal with Tornadoes?

OOO yeah, I'm in tornado alley, it's fun. Tell me you guys have fun like this.

Where I live in Canada now we get funnel clouds but not many touch down. I think two have this year but nowhere close to the city.

[Loony BoB]

Natural disasters in the UK are pretty much restricted to floods and the odd hurricane. It's pretty basic in that area. Haven't seen a tornado in my life. Dad once saw a mini tornado in Auckland, or so he told me when I was a kid. Said it moved a car around or something. That's... that's about it.
