English ladies are ugly!

It seems that a Brazilian-born American "friend" of ours, Bernardo Hees (who we once welcomed into Warwick university with open arms so he could learn the tricks of his trade and make lots and lots of money, more money than most of us will ever probably see), has addressed a group of students in Chicago, saying "The food is terrible and the women are not very attractive." before adding that his time in Britain had offered few distractions beyond work.

Well. First of all, he only went to Warwick.. which by no means sums up the whole of England. Second of all, he's from America - land of the supersized, and thirdly... he is the Chief Executive of Burger King. Yes, BURGER KING. And he has the audacity to say English food is "terrible".

Note to Mr Hees; Sweetheart, if you think a piece of cardboard flavoured meat between sheets of melted plastic cheese, lashings of sugar-laden tomato sauce and unhealthy white bread buns, classes as "good" food, against our traditional and delicious Sunday roast, I suggest you take out that huge wedge of banknotes that are firmly lodged between your tastebuds and learn to taste food properly. Because that statement, coming from a king of fast, unhealthy food, is quite ridiculous.

And whilst we're on the subject of unhealthy, fast food.. you know that film Supersize Me? And you know America's reputation for not just supersized portions, but supersized obesity? Yes? Well, you'll also know that Burger King probably contributes to this a helluva lot then.

Apparently Mr Hees is said to now regret his comments, alledgedly saying they were just to gain rappor with the students. Well I bet you regret them - it backfired didn't it.

Enough said. I think us English ladies are hot. So shove that in your burger hole.
