It depends on what stars the restaurant has, to some extent, but more importantly what people are willing to pay.

If I want to spend €150+ per head I can eat at a two Michelin star restaurant*. The difference between that and a 'three star' restaurant depends mostly on interpretation of the 'stars' and demand/availability in that location.

don't lose sight of the fact that the US adds massive value to the global economy

Given current political alliances you're right of course but then again maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and makes the rest of the world look into other options?

At the end of the day you don't want to piss off the rest of the world if you rely on imports.

As a Brit living in France I've never had problems being understood by other English speakers from all over the world, including Ozzies, Kiwis, Saffas and Sepos, not to mention people who speak English as a second language such as the Scandis.

Having said that, I don't speak English with a dialect, I speak English the way it's supposed to be spoken

most people have already decided on the PS4, and will be leary of signing up since you're just a firmware update away from returning to putting 'em over a barrel

I'm sure Timothy is glad you're still thinking of him but he's probably worried that that word doesn't mean what you think it means...

If you have the USA in the middle of the map then surely Europe is in the East and Asia/China is in the West!?! That would be confusing if you were bought up with the usual "Western Civilisation" ideas.

I always assumed that the UK was in the middle because of GMT but then I'm very Eurocentric myself. So, is Europe in the West or the East then?
