Re: Intro and all that
Long time watcher, first time poster (?)
Nah, just introducing myself. I am Silly Sod's missus, and I have been reading along with him since he joined so I know a lot of people on here pretty well, and just decided to register and put my two cents in. I lived in the UK for about four months, which isn't very long, but I do know a bit about what it's like there (I positively love the place and wish we could go back, actually!!).
Currently unemployed but soon will have another job and I will probably not post often then, but for now I'll try and keep up. Umm, I'm a Michigan native though I have lived all over the US, I'm a mother of one, I still want to finish college and become a history teacher but that's on the back burner for a little longer yet. I love to talk politics and am a bleeding heart liberal on most issues.
I hate a full English breakfast and really don't like sausage, but I adore chips and curry sauce and beans on toast (lol) and I can make a really good chicken madras (the naan doesn't turn out too well, unfortunately). What I miss most about the UK are the comfy pubs, the temperate weather, the beautiful gardens, and all our family and friends there.
That was probably more than needed but a decent intro anyway.

Re: Intro and all that
Thanks again all for all the welcomes! Hubs and I have really got to sort out the logging in and out business though because we keep posting as each other! Oh, for two computers!
Ha, I know it's not sunny over there! I do miss it though, I loved the place! Sounds strange I guess but I grew up in Hicktown, USA, pop 10,000. Manchester is big and cosmopolitan and exciting - and Salford has small town charm of it's own in the local pubs and markets. It's my second home!
