Re: What British products can't you get in the US?

There is an online store (Ackroyd's) that sells scotch pies and other products that are reasonably good. Cadbury's just isn't Cadbury's here, so I wouldn't bother with that. There are various...

Re: TV Antenna’s

Many years ago, we moved into a house that supposedly had cable, but the signal was almost non-existant. This was when cable was just starting up, so pretty rubbish. A neighbour was fed up with it...

Re: UK Engineer looking to relocate to the US?

You might need to work for a multi-national that has branches or HQ in the UK, and USA for at least 2 years before looking to relocate. That would mean that you are serious about the job, and not...

Re: Attitudes to Death

The first time I saw anyone that had died, was my grandmother. She was still in bed at home, with a hankerchief over her face, and I must have been around 7-8 at the time. The next time, it was a...

Re: First ever speeding ticket

Late in the month, out of state plates, done deal. DH hasn't had a speeding ticket, but a NJ cop pulled him over, years ago, saying he wasn't using his headlights when it was raining, but it wasn't...

Re: Retired - what's more important family or cost-of-living/location?

We are in a similar situation, and getting close to retirement. Living in the eastern LA suburbs, but we like it here, as it's not LA. We don't have family here and very few friends, so there is...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

We did a road trip just as Covid was settling down, and all the toilets in service/gas stations and the state run ones on the highways were always super clean. It's usually a case of hold your...

The people that he "influences" could be as equally dangerous as him, if they listen and pay attention to him.

Re: WTF in America Part 2

He seems to be a control freak, and I'm not sure if she is on something, as her eyes just seem to be dead, and just goes along with whatever crazy scheme he has dreamed up. If that was a male that...

Re: Move Offer

If schools are in your future, I would recommend searching out good school areas. You would need to be in the catchment area for any children to get in to them. Ay least that's what happens in our...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

Have a look at where your employment is situated, and put a circle around it as to how far you could travel in, in the morning, and look at highways and main roads that could take you there. Then...

Re: Moving to LA in two weeks, would appreciate a sense check!

We are out of LA, in the Inland Empire. One of the nicer bits admittedly. Rents aren't so high as in the city, and there are likely newer rentals. Plenty highways to get you into LA, although they...

Re: Shower curtains

We have opening shower doors and a sliding one. I prefer the opening ones. We have had the two curtains arrangement though in a previous house. We have also been in showers so small, if you soaped...

Re: Drought in the West/ Pulaski Road Trip

Re: missing uk

The first two years I was here, I would have jumped at the chance to go back. Now, after 20+ years here, no chance. We have lived in 3 different areas, and I liked the last two, and hated the...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Shouldn't child protection people get involved if the child has a gun. Danger to themselves and others at the very least. A child of two wouldn't be able to handle a gun safely, if at all.

Re: Catherdral City Substitution

That's the one we always get. We have tried others, but always come back to that one. I will need to keep looking for the Cathedral City cheese.

Re: Mother's Day 19th March 2023

I get the Mother's Day cards for Mother's Day here, and save them to send the following year to the UK, as you just can't get the cards earlier enough here. MIL likes a proper card, and not an...

Re: New adventures

Love your new kitchen, specially the cabinets. The floor tiles look very similar to what we ordered to get fitted it January. Snow and slush will be very different to what you were used to.

Re: Entertaining people you don’t know that well in your home -why?!

Re: Moving to America and very worried.

We were a little bit older than you when we moved over, and luckily didn't have Twitter, Reddit and all the rest of that cr@p to influence us. We could think for ourselves. When DH was asked to...
