I believe Ironporer lives somewhere in AL, but don't know where. I believe he is a Republican, but his wife is normal I mean British

Ah, sorry - why did I think she was a Brit... Anyway, perhaps they're Anglophiles, so might want to meet some real-life Brits

My Spanish wife might take exception to being called British (and maybe even 'normal'!!) as she is 100% Española...Iberian bred and born.

Hoover is in the Birmingham metroplex, as am I...though the only English accent I could put on would be worse than Mel Gibson's Scottish from Braveheart- or Kevin Costner's accent from Robin Hood. I joined the forum for immigration advice- not because I am an Anglophile...though now after 4 years coming here, I almost feel duty bound to go to the UK if for nothing else than to eat 'proper, fish and chips, curry and a Cornish Pasty.

I am a Conservative, which over the last few years has very little to do with the current version of the Republican Party or at least those leading it.

We have a large contingent of Brits up here in Huntsville, AL but for some reason they don't all talk to each other. lolol Maybe they are just so engrossed in their jobs. Some do wave if they see your UJ on your vehicle.
