Technicaly, Mr B's a geordie as his mum was born in Newcastle UK (the moved to Newcastle Oz when she was 5 - original). I'll call him an essex boy and see how he reacts!

Nope, but he has three aunties and 2 uncles in Oz (his mum's siblings). He lost touch with them for a while, but he's got them back now which is great.

My husband runs a hotel and we have lots of guests from the UK, some of them seem to delight in making really horrible Essex girl jokes. I tell people that I am from London now when they ask as there are only so many Essex girl jokes you can take

that looks great.
I will be back in the UK on 15 August for about four weeks - any time between those dates is fine for me.
