Re: Hello!!!
Hi....I am a newbie to this forum as well, although not new to the US.

Re: Hello!!!
In Bath.....moved from So Cal 4 years ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time!
The snow is getting tiresome now...at least one doesn't have to shovel cold as well.

Re: Hello!!!
Thanks, thanks and yes it is....yours ain't too shabby either. Tony Bourdain was singing the praises of the Irn-bru as the greatest hangover prevention ever on his "No Reservations" show last night when he was up in Edinburgh.

Re: Hello!!!
Ah UK Chinese food - so different, miss that. Not that brilliantly an Indian food fan but I do miss my Chicken tikka masala, locally they do not bad Indian but they seem to think that opening a can of tomato soup is the same! 
Though I can't blame them it is a UK dish after all.
Doner kebab, my OH misses that. A UK food inspector put me off for life re them!!
And battered sausage my all time fav chippy meal soaked in vinegar with pickled onions as you said (why am I suddenly hungry? 
)
My mum was in fits of laughter when she discovered I kept a bottle of vinegar in my handbag for when I go into restaurants, also a bottle of vinegar in my OH cup-holder in his car (his work colleagues had raised eyebrows)

Re: Hello!!!
8.5 inches so far.
I am originally from Harrow in Middx and left in 1983 to go to Los Angeles where I ended up staying for 20 years before tiring of the constant bloody sunshine and heat! Then moved to Maine for white Christmases and cold weather, however I could use some sunshine and heat right now...."the grass is always greener" so they say.
