LOL, You are right. Virgin has a non-stop from here to Gatwick and the ahem passengers are quite the spectacle. Last time the flight attendants and I had quite a laugh at the expense of a rowdy group of would-be louts.

Someone posted a while back that they were on a flight and a bunch of them kept telling the flight attendant to 'take it off and show us yer tits luv'....
A friend of mine here lived there for many years and actually loved it. She'd go back if hubby could get a job back there again.

Chavs is a thing that is after my time. I have been here 17 years and even when I went back 10 years ago, I had never heard of a chav.

UKgirl, is that British pub any good in Vegas then? I could never make it out of the casinos to have a drink in there.

Yeah it is actually. It is quite close to UNLV so attracts a lot of college age kids.
They serve nice food and they sell a few items too. I don't go there that often, but I do go to an Irish pub in this casino, which is good.

There are a lot of Brits here and quite a few Brit grocery stores.

Back to the topic....
I have lived around Irvine for the last 2 years and love it. It is a great place but there are parts of the OC to avoid.
Where are you thinking about in OC? More importantly what's your budget for Mortgage/Rent and how close to the beach do you need to be??

Re: Orange County, Anyone there?
I'm from near Bath if you want to see ugly tourists, you should the Americans in the UK. You can spot them at a distance (usually 'cause you can hear them a mile away) with their plaid shorts, baseball caps, long socks and sandals. I could go on, but then I would be stereotyping all Americans. And by the way my husband is American and wears his England shirt with pride, and is as far from a 'chav' as you can get.

Re: Orange County, Anyone there?
Anyhow, husband is going for a job in Orange County (California) and although I have heard of the area, I know nothing about it in any depth to be able to know where is a good area (or not good area) to live in, what are the schools like (probably very variable too) we have 2 children aged 7 and 4. Ideally I would like to be in a more countryfied area or at least a suburb with some sort of open green village like feel to it. if anyone knows of any property websites I could use that would be great. I am assuming we will rent to start off with as we will keep our house in the UK and rent that out too. No idea of budget as yet, but would as a minimum need a 4 bed house and a garden is a must. All sensible suggestions welcome!
