I agree, but to be fair I do think that if I lived in a big tourist area, and having been here for some time I, like Ray, would not want to be arsed with them. Makes me glad I don't though.

I absolutely hate the English. They drive me up the fu(kin wall with the constant whining and complaining. "The beers too cold and fizzy, its too hot, you can't get good tea here"

Oh, FFS people just go HOME.


So there.

Heh heh I'll send you money to see a picture of the look on your face when that happens. OK maybe just some karma, but I'd send you something.

Silly Sod (love that screen name!), so glad you got to meet a fellow expat, and a nice one at that. I've been in the Chicago 'burbs for over 11 years now, and have met a total of 7 expats. Pretty ****ing sad, eh? It has to be said, I've not gone out of my way to find them, but perhaps I should?... hmmm...

Silly Sod

I dunno about hunting them down Maz. It was just a really nice suprise when the guy at the door said - ow doo mate - as he wlaked in. I was like - oh my god and then he was the same. Thanks foor the compliment by the way, I owe it all to me mam who always said I was one

I know the feeling..... I just moved jobs and had been here less than a week before bumping into another Ex-Pat in my office building who suddenly invites me to join the cricket club ! .......

It's the little things in life...

does anyone from BE ever get together for a drink on occasions?

britvic

I will be meeting one of them next week but sadly my two main very good friends I've found on here, they are to far away we would have more chance of meeting up one day back home.

gardnma

Oh, fine.

Relegated to third division......

(I know....)

basementwaj

TN-Dave

I've been here 17 months now, and only met one other Brit, and that was by chance in the local supermarket. She had been a war bride so had lived here a long time. We chatted for a bit and she said she'd been lucky and had managed to go back to the UK 5 times since she'd been here, which I didn't think was many times in such a long time period. She told me she still thinks of England as home and we both got all tearful So not a great experience really

theres one about a 5 min walk away from the ice hocky station.. not sure where it is exactly, i was last there a year ago..

TN-Dave

You jinxed me ! I've just had acall and been invited to Bosco's - now I'm freaked because "BE is watching you" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenster

I met my husband when he gatecrashed a party I was at, I was busy telling all my foreign friends how I had once had that common northern accent his mates all had when somehow numbers got exchanged, now we've been married four and a half years. I'm from Huddersfield and he's from Barnsley and we met in Amsterdam.
My advice - think twice before speaking to fellow Brits!
