Re: does anyone actually not miss their family back home ? ;)

I'm with you. I miss my family so much it hurts. I guess it depends on the relationships you had before you moved over. I have one son, 3 sisters, 4 nieces and a bucket load of great-nieces/nephews....

Re: My son and his lost/stolen passport

Thanks for the two suggestions!

Coming in to Vancouver always works best for my visitors as they prefer to leave from Gatwick - and for us we have Nexus so can be at the airport in less than an...

Re: Las Vegas help

Some friends of ours did the same at Caesar's Palace and got upgraded to a suite! They slid $20 for theirs! They told me to try the same when I went later that year but it just felt rather shifty -...

Re: Las Vegas help

Vegas.com is actually very reasonable. I have stayed at the Luxor twice and actually preferred being away from the bustle - and there aren't the naked cards being thrust in your face down that end...

Re: Christmas cards - on the way out?

I hear you. It is as if I never existed - or as if my "friends" can't be bothered to go to a Post-Office and get their card weighed to send here!

I have noticed Americans just aren't in to...

Re: The Bachelor - 2012

I watched it, but I don't like him much.
"Reality Steve" showed a video Ben had made - quite awful, surprised he's able to be on TV if he makes videos like it!
I wasn't really impressed with...

Re: Rant about British Airways!!

I have actually found BA to be quite good. We like direct flights and BA and Air-Canada are the only two who offer it for my area. I felt Air-Canada let us down badly the first time we flew and...

Re: The Christmas what do you miss thread

I used to do that! It was at a time when you didn't have Netflix and On Demand and huge vudeo libraries, so seeing their big Christmas fortnight of films was great fun! And of course, you can't...

Re: This thought of moving back to the UK is visiting me more often again...

My sister was married to an alcoholic and he beat the living daylights out of her everytime he was drunk, yet you couldn't meet a nicer guy sober. It is an awful thing. My uncle was also so bad that...

Re: The X Factor!

Very, very funny! I loved where you said Nicole got on your last nerve! Very good.
I like Drew, but she looks so young and vulnerable. I agree though that this age is too young. I always cringed...

Re: Would you do it again?

I'm undecided. Came here to marry an American. He had a very good job, elderly mother and was a grandfather. I was in a better position to move, so this direction made sense.
However beautiful this...

Wherabouts are you exactly? You have come to the Seattle part, so I'm guessing you have to be too - but it is a big place. You should introuduce yourself on the introductions page of this...

Re: genral cost of living in the USA compared to the UK

I agree with Penguinsix, the cost of living can vary so dramatically from one state to the other and even on one item to another. Groceries balance themselves out, you get good things, cheap deals -...
