Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I'm a freelance writer and photographer and pretty much write about anything but my passion is in music, shows, and entertainment...and food & wine. I worked in music media in London. In SF I was...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I don't think the UK is better than the USA or visa versa. I said that I wanted to live in California, that I love California but my family are in England and that is enough for me to want to...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I like living in the USA. My thing was that I was perhaps moving back to the UK just to be with the family.

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Well, I was being polite about America for a change. :eek:

I've never heard so much air time surrounded by one little issue of what shall we call our current situation. "It's official, the...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I lived in Berlin for a while. Now that was different. At least in America there's a common language and uber optimism.

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I think we are all nostalgic. I know I'm nostalgic for London but I lived there all through my twenties and partied hard. I'm nostalgic for the green belt Lancashire countryside I grew up in....

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Yeh, and what's with seeing a movie at the cinema on Christmas day? I'm not religious at all but it just seems so wrong like family isn't important. I think it's rather rude. And trying to find...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I always laugh when the American media say that people are work shy in "socialist" Britain because of welfare. Excuse me? Have you tried living off 30 pounds a week unemployment. My friends, family,...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Too right. I absolutely refused to work the day after Christmas in the USA. My heart wasn't in the office even for having to work the week between Xmas and New Years day. It's just wrong and it's...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Easy as breathing doesn't mean I don't want to go home to England. It means that I'm used to living in the USA now and I fit in all right. But I still may go home next year because I want to be near...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Exactly!! It used to really bother me now I've been here for a long time and I've almost forgotten how it is to live in the UK. I've stopped fighting it. I was really a fighter for the first 3-4...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

Yes. No doubt about it...it is sad to say but the pub is at the top of the list of things I miss about the UK. Christ, when I went home in May for a wedding, having not been home for five years, (and...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

As I was a complete alcoholic in Britain and only a partial one in the USA, Christmas in the UK (FOR ME) was rockn' because I was in the pub every day of December with friends and old work...

Re: I love California but my family are in the UK

I guess the grass is always greener but I always enjoyed London because I spent all of my 20's there and went out all the time. I went to University there. Sure it was different from greenbelt...

Thanks Poppygirl and Steerpike. Ideally, yes, I would do what Steerpike does -bringing your mum over for holidays and visiting old Blighty. I love SF. I haven't counted out returning there. It's true...
