Little Britain

A few weeks ago, I was at dinner with two lovely Brits fairly new to Manhattan. Our conversation inevitably got to the controversy of Little Britain, the campaign headed up by the Tea and Sympathy crew over on north Greenwich Avenue.

The couple that owns T&S has teamed up with Virgin Atlantic Airways to promote Little Britain as a means of attracting more tourists from the UK. The folks claim that it’s “not just for the fun of it!”

Regardless of what it’s for—pride, ego, tourist promotion, one thing is for sure: if there is an official Little Britain, the acquisition of quality products such as Jelly Babies, salad cream, and, my most recent discovery, Ribena, could become easier and easier.

To sign the petition to promote Little Britain, visit the campaign website. After you’ve signed it, pat yourself on the back and head to your newfound British haven for a Yorkie or a Time Out.
