Re: Moving to Orange County from London

Have a look at where your employment is situated, and put a circle around it as to how far you could travel in, in the morning, and look at highways and main roads that could take you there. Then...

Re: Moving to LA in two weeks, would appreciate a sense check!

We are out of LA, in the Inland Empire. One of the nicer bits admittedly. Rents aren't so high as in the city, and there are likely newer rentals. Plenty highways to get you into LA, although they...

Re: Shower curtains

We have opening shower doors and a sliding one. I prefer the opening ones. We have had the two curtains arrangement though in a previous house. We have also been in showers so small, if you soaped...

Re: Home and garden projects

We are getting floor tiling done on our first floor, at long last. It has been delayed for months for various reasons. First choice of tile was slightly different colour to the sample that we...

Re: Drought in the West/ Pulaski Road Trip

Re: missing uk

The first two years I was here, I would have jumped at the chance to go back. Now, after 20+ years here, no chance. We have lived in 3 different areas, and I liked the last two, and hated the...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Shouldn't child protection people get involved if the child has a gun. Danger to themselves and others at the very least. A child of two wouldn't be able to handle a gun safely, if at all.

Re: Catherdral City Substitution

That's the one we always get. We have tried others, but always come back to that one. I will need to keep looking for the Cathedral City cheese.

Re: Mother's Day 19th March 2023

I get the Mother's Day cards for Mother's Day here, and save them to send the following year to the UK, as you just can't get the cards earlier enough here. MIL likes a proper card, and not an...

Re: New adventures

Love your new kitchen, specially the cabinets. The floor tiles look very similar to what we ordered to get fitted it January. Snow and slush will be very different to what you were used to.

Re: Entertaining people you don’t know that well in your home -why?!

We have 3 sets of good friends that we feel we can invite over for a meal. DH is more social than I am, so I do feel stressed when he asks someone over, without even discussing it with me, who has...

Re: Moving to America and very worried.

We were a little bit older than you when we moved over, and luckily didn't have Twitter, Reddit and all the rest of that cr@p to influence us. We could think for ourselves. When DH was asked to...

Re: New adventures

We will be doing some flooring soon, rip up carpet and tile and putting new tile down. We can't diy it as DH has back troubles. We contacted the realtor that got us this house, and asked her for...

Re: Ozzy Osbourne to relocate from Los Angeles to the UK

Can't say I blame him for getting out of LA, as the crime does seem to be getting worse there, and is, unfortunately the criminals are creeping into the suburbs. There are plenty places he could...

Re: Bank Requesting Primary US Residential Address

Don't Wells Fargo have a presence in the UK. May even have one in London, or at least a subsidiary bank.

Re: Anyone Remember These?

My mum had a couple of those from a Christmas pudding, she said, but I don't know where they are now. I think they were the George V ones.

Hope that the right house comes along soon. Maybe see if the realtor has some that will be coming onto the market soon, so you get a heads up, and they know what you're looking for.

Re: Any recommendations for homesick Brit now living in LA?

Take a trip to Big Bear, or San Juan Capistrano or the beach. It's not to far from LA. We live east of LA with a view of the hills. We like it here, and I would find LA a bit soul destroying to be...
