The short answer is no. Genuinely, I have close friends down south who are genuinely surprised that the SNP has been in office since 2007 and is rapidly approaching "LDP in post war Japan" levels of lengthy term in office

William Stewart Halsted invented the modern North American concept of residency training at Johns Hopkins *whilst perennially hopped up on cocaine* and no one seems to acknowledge that medical training in many parts of the world still assumes Halsted-level hours without (obviously) the stimulants!

The fried fish in fish & chips was brought to Britain by Sephardi Jews. The chips arrived from France/Belgium in the 1800s. British style chippies exist in Mallorca to cater to tourists and (pre-Brexit) retirees in Spain. The Alam brothers added spice from Lahore
