this was the stereotype from about 20 years ago. it is obviously not the case now but it takes a while for rep/stereotype to catch up with reality. the change i mostly because of globalization and the rise of celebrity chefs. london is a top city as far as michelin star rated restaurants.
Correct. Just look at he 143 Michelin stars handed out in 2011.

It's owned by prodrive. and English company. Keep trying.

you mean Prodrive, who is 49% owned by a Kuwaiti... which has NO financial stake in Aston Martin, which is still owned partially by Ford, partially by another american investor and partially by the same Kuwaiti group that owns 49% of Prodrive?

I think of ugly pale people with droopy features and disgusting teeth.

Or the nation that raped and killed the world 100 times over all for their own bloodlust and greed, effectively the most violent nation in the history of the universe.
