Little Britain: We’ll Close Our Eyes and Think of Cake

Intel,

You know we love you.

And you know why? Because it will be of benefit to all the little businesses on the block and it’ll help it from becoming another Bleecker Street chain-store mall. What’s more, there isn’t anywhere else in the city that so exuberantly represents Britain.


It’s just two words on one street sign, a co-name; in the grand scheme of things it’s pretty harmless. Anyway, lovely slab o’ Victoria Sponge cake waiting for you in the shop.

Toodle-pip!!

We still don’t like the idea, of course. But we do like cake. We may be prepared to give up.
