Hi, I have lived in the US most of my life now, I am 61. My entire family is Brit, yet they thought it would be great to live here in the US. Why? Why? Why? I miss my home, near London so much. I lived there off and on until I was 10. Then just an occassional visit. My last husband never understood my strong British-ness. Now I am in the last years of my life, alone at 61, I just want to meet a fellow Brit, here in the Bay Area of San Francisco, who understands what it might mean to go home to England. I would give up everything to go home to 'mother'.

Is there a reason why you don't pack up and leave the US and return to "mother"? Why do you need a Brit guy and if you are using BE in hopes to find one, you're on the wrong site. 'tis not match.com ;-(

RETE:I don't take it as that(match thing)...she just wants to meet a fellow brit, as in herself...?? could be wrong, but that is how i took it!

Good luck to you, like many people suggest try a holiday first to see what its like now...you may just NOT like it...See rubymurray's posts....

Lots of people get that urge to return to their roots as they get older.Can't really offer any advice but do understand how you feel and hopefully you will find some friends who can relate to how you are feeling ect.Good luck

I think most are right, I should go back first for an extended visit. My sister is single and alone too, she would be my best travel pal for a trip.

I think thats a great idea. I cant imagine how much things must have changed in 50 years, its probably an entirely different place now. Even after ten years away it seemed to have changed significantly for the worse in many places, and it was certainly expensive.... Nostalgia aint what it used to be Im afraid.

Poor soul. Werent even there for the 60's!

You may not realize it but you are living in one of the most desired areas of the world.

Ridden had a double d and Scott mcKenzie had it right the first time.

another bloody yank

If she was in San Francisco, I think she got the gist of it.

Jules Europe

Supposedly it does but in this particular quote it doesn`t and I do hate to change originality.

By the way "McKenzie" is written with a large M.

Officer Dibble

Aww dont be such an incredible nob. It was an oversight that doesnt make you Sherlock Holmes, spic!

Ask yourself "Is this bickering adding to the useful information posted here"


If you come up with "yes", then think again cos its the WRONG ANSWER.
