Even in PA, a turn signal means "Look, I've almost completed my turn".

unless you count those places that have an Irish name they like to call a Pub, but always seem to be some dark and seedy Bar.

I thought before I moved here that it would be great to leave behind all that dross like makeover shows (for houses and for people with no dress sense). Very disappointing to arrive and find that that was exactly the sort of crap that BBC America showed 24/7.

The Cornish pasty company is one of my favourite places to eat now when we go home. Lovely Thai chicken and other unusual fillings but I still love a good old traditional pasty. Just wish that we could shrink the pond a bit and have a tunnel or bridge.
Then we could all pop home for the weekend and have a natter with mum, a pint in the local and a curry feast

A nationwide public transport system of trains and buses that run more frequently than once an hour. I suppose I can dream...
