I do wish he'd said "British restaurant", not "British Restaurant".
Horrible memories of 1939-1945.

I think at least one may have been still running in the early/mid
sixties. The Councillor's family may remember. It was probably near
the middle of http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...q&hl=en&geocod

Not sure how we got onto the late lamented Cambridge Civic Restaurant (as
it was when I knew it) in this thread. It was indeed on that corner. I
only ever eat there once, when in Cambridge for my interview in 1967.

Evidently I have failed to remember that it was Civic, and so apparently
connected to a better class of governmental organisation than that then
in charge of the country. I'd eaten there, but not often, probably when
living in Eden Street.

The message
from Bruce contains these words:

It seems odd that there should be such a thing as a "British
Restaurant" when British cuisine has largely vanished.

My local pub has stopped displaying its Curry Board because the demand
for that style of cooking has dropped. On the other hand, they keep a
rather nice gammon which is very popular, as is their home-made
steak-and-ale pie.

My local pub became a Thai Restaurant, still with a bar. Many
hostelries around Aylesbury have become Indian restaurants, some with,
and some without bars.

Thanks for the link. It's about time that USians had "proper" food
available. The bloke who trims the remains of my hair has relatives in
Transpondia, and he seems to spend his whole holiday over there in the
kitchen, cooking enough real food to fill their freezer so that they'll
be OK until his next visit.

Fortunately World Market now stocks a number of useful British items.
So I needn't forgo PG Tips, or Typhoo. I can make birds custard for
my American apple pie. Branston Pickle is available to give my salads
a slight UK touch. Walker Shortbread and McVities Biscuits Biscuits
(now there is an ambiguous word) are occasional treats.

When I first worked in the US in 1982 I would go crazy for a cup of
real tea. Eventually I would have family members send it over.
