This is the whinging pom thread.

I guess I did stray off the subject a bit, but we were, after all, talking about spray-can pancakes.

I wanna go back home

My US husband says the same, it was him who talked me into moving over here and I find he can be just as home sick for my mother land as I am.

It's OK. I thought there was a lot of info on that thread that might interest you.

My husband gets almost as homesick for England as me at times too.

I get homesick for the UK as well but I have family there so that would be one of the reasons besides the fact historical ruins, here, are few and far between.

It's good to know most Americans that have lived there warm to the place, as do many Brits over here, sadly I've never become one of them

sorry to offend the few Americans on here by my statement, it just is what it is.

That's ok, I was homesick the whole time I was in Germany. Like they say, there's no place like home.

Yeah, sometimes. It's not the same as homesickness, though.

What's happened to the tin? There was an empty Britvic bottle on our table in the pub last night...I thought of you.
