Thanks for that advice but I'm not giving in yet, sorry my post depressed you. Easy scenario 'go home'...lol yep could do that right now, I have a house waiting for me in lovely rainy Surrey but I have a lovely husband here and if you had read all the thread you would have hopefully understood that I should have changed the thread to read 'Anything good about living in Houston'. You would also have read the various comments about Houston, it is not the idyllic dream place that anyone would retire to and like I said we are here for the pay check. My husband was born close to Austin and we have family in Dallas and although just a few hrs away life is quite different there. The reason for me posting on this BE website was to find out if there are any Brits in Houston as I am not meeting any. I am not trying to be sarcastic about the USA. Hey MrDub I am down but not out and tks again for your constructive advice Merry Christmas to you

And then let's have a nice cuppa tea - that'll set the world to rights!

Hey BritGuy, guess my thread topic should have been more specific...Anything good about living in Houston??

It's sit down, order, get meal, get asked what desert you want while eating meal and if no desert, the bill is there before you've even finished the meal. Great service ?
