The Mother of all Fakes!

China is well know for its fakes.  Over here you can get films on DVD as they are going in to the cinema in the rest of the world and they are so cheap, the other week I bought The King's Speech for £1!  You can get Ugg boots, North Face jackets and Omega watches, Ipads, ipods and iphones and the quality, if you search for it, is excellent. 

However, we couldn't believe our eyes at the weekend when we went in search of a pizza restaurant.  Pizza Manzano looked familiar from the outside but when we got inside we realised that we were in a fake Pizza Express!  The decor and tables were the same.


They even had La Reine (Alice and Charlie!) and Caprese on the menu!  The prices were pretty much the same. Everything tasted the same. The only difference was the name:  Pizza Pizza Express!
