Enough to make a resident of England weep. Well, this resident in particular, who likes his seafood.
This is the fish range in the everyday bog standard shop in a small town in inland southern France. It makes Cambridge, a much bigger town, look so sad, so garbage.
If the UK hasn't have left the EU I could have got UK citizenship amd just moved here. Admittedly that is probably not what the point of UK citizenship is supposed to be 😂 but all the same, it was once a very powerful citizenship... worthy of having... now... pfft... dirt, dust, dried dog poop.
Yes, these are exactly the thoughts that go through my head when I look at this fish range. (And this is not the whole of it. Not the fish, nor the thoughts.)
I don't hate the UK, nor England specifically. I live there, have done for 20 years now... it has is upsides. But it sure does like to punch itself in the face. The seafood is an analogy for a range of things really...
