I have just been granted permanent residence in America, and will be moving to Lubbock in January.

Does anyone know what it's like there for Brits?

And an important question, where can I watch England football games?
I have checked some website and no local pubs are listed for football.
Has anyone checked out the Fox and Hounds in Lubbock, as I thought they might show English football

Thanks

Lubbock???!! As in Lubbock, Texas??

British pubs? British football - you're 'aving a laugh, aren't you?

If you can find:

A) Someone to understand your accent
B) Someone who DOESN'T think that Heinekin is British!

Then you are doing well.

West Texas is even more weird than East Texas where I am.

Don't get me wrong, both places are a great place to live but forget about bringing your Britishness and British 'needs' with you. Get used to baseball, American (football) and Texas barbecue!!!

Good luck,
Andy.

Lubbock is Waaaaaaaay out there my friend. I have just sent a shippment from my company to Lubbock Texas to some new apartments, we had an installer go out there, but he said its too far to go, 6-7 hour drive to the middle of no-where?
Why did you pick that city?

Ya know... if you've had a few Lubbock might sound familiar to us Brits!

You ignore them Smiler125 ...I have trawled through the net and found interesting things ..

Here you go :

Four City of Lubbock departments and the Keep Lubbock Beautiful committee have joined forces to establish a hotline for citizens to report illegal dumping. The new hotline number is 775-DUMP (775- 3867) and it is available 24/7 on a voice mail system.

Now... not everybody has that ...

I'm Moving to Lubbock because my wife's family have offered us free accomodation and use of a car.
Is that a good enough reason!!!!

I actually like Lubbock and think the people are great.

America here I come!!!

No one can upset me, I haven't stopped smiling since I got the Visa last week.
Moving to any part of America would be fine for me, especially after getting soaking wet in the U.K weather today
