Cheers for independence
July 4th, 2009
For the 4th of July, occasional British restaurants – and especially pubs – promote special deals, and even some shops end up having “Independence Day” sales. Nothing major, fairly sporadic, but it sticks out precisely because it is so uncommon.
And it always makes me wonder: You guys realize independence from who is being celebrated in America on this day, right?
Maybe, all of those places that advertise their 4th of July deals are owned by expats, and I’m just not aware of it…
Maybe Farmer George wasn’t all that popular at home either?
Maybe they are celebrating getting rid of us
They may be thinking “good riddance”.
