Re: What's happened to UK-yankee?

I can't really believe that a resource like UK-Yankee won't be replicated in some form if the site is truly dead. There is a fairly large population of US citizens in the UK with questions that are...

Re: Moving back home to escape the craziness

I'm decluttering and thinking about a move back to the UK. There's an awful lot to organize. My decision will hinge on the results of the next set of mid-term elections.
