Somebody tell me what they like about the English monarchy. No anti-monarchists, please, just tell me why you like the monarchy, why you like the Queen, childhood memories of the Queen's Speech on Christmas Day, etc., etc., etc.
I love the monarchy. Long may it exist and long live the Queen!!

The Monarchy is our Heritage, its a sense of pride..we once ruled the world, they are decendance from a different time..when the world was a smaller place, and our country was a huge part of it.....they are now just figure heads, but are a reminder of our wonderful history......just sayin!!..

Can you imagine anyone else of her age working as hard as she does - and always being in the public eye. Whatever you think of the monarchy she has to get credit for doing a bloody hard job.

Hi Denise 2 --- I went to Tesco today and picked up a nice bottle of Peri Peri hot sauce I got the medium one, and I also got the original HP brown sauce too, so thank you me dear very much for that, --- AND Don just said that in future for me to get my steaks in Morrisons and get the Australian steaks as they have more flavour, --- and said that I can grow my own garlic but Im not too keen on that so --- do you know of anywhere that I can get either fresh garlic or minced or diced garlic in a Jar?
Take care,
Rodney.

.... good on ya!
Interesting comment from you - I did NOT write this article as I stated when I copied it into FYI section - the lady who did this morning on another site was moving from UK to NZ from where she stated she lived -maybe it hit a nerve for all with a wake up call! I for one like to get to the honest and real world updates as it helps me prepare for my return and not live in la la land.
Good evening to all.

Hello everyone,
I came across the BritExpat site just a few days ago and am so happy to have found it.
You all seem like such a nice bunch of people and I am amazed that I have connected so much with most everything that has been said about the longing to go home. I have been away for over 30 years and have been more or less home sick all that time, but it has got much worse in the last few years. I have not read all the posts on here yet, just want to say to
LILV...congratulations on being cancer free and leaving soon,
Island Woman...I am following your story with delight,
Dontherunner...hope all goes well with your plans for next month
Now I have to get back to reading the rest of the threads.

DDL. I have now lived in the US 4 years longer than I did in the UK. but I think for a lot of British people the Queen is a ship that has set a steady course for England and its people for 58 years. She has always in my opinion represented our country superbly both at home and abroad. Her life has been dedicated to serving her country and it surely cannot have been easy. Prime Ministers come and go, political parties change but she is a constant. I love America but proud to be British and proud she is our Queen..Also in a more simplistic way - she's just always been there and it can be a comforting sort of feeling..Can't really explain it..

I know the Somerton Road, very well, my brother in laws sister lives there, also my sisters old boyfriend lived there, maybe you knew them Raineys, they were steeplejacks, had companies both North and South of Ireland> I was from the other side of town, Glengoland, in Suffolk, and then Four Winds/ Knock area. Yes I had a holdiay home there too, (no longer I'm afraid returning to Canada cost us dearly) and it is lovely. Good luck Celticspirit hope all works out for you
