I'm beginning to think there are too many bl***y Americans on this BRITISH forum. It is becoming overrun and the whole tone is changing.

Glad to see that pretty much everyone appears to have manged to resist the temptation to get this thread back on topic ...

It's a matter of principle now

The newbies ganged up on us and told us we were not allowed to tell them to use the search function, can't allow that or we will never regain control.

Oh, is that what was going on here? I thought a Kiwi was asking something about bodyline, & I was hoping to learn something useful.

In that case go read the Wiki

Ummm, nobody reads the wiki...

That is very evident by the number of posts that start "I expect this question has been asked 100s of times before but I going to ask it again because I'd rather not waste my time reading the Wiki, or searching for the answer"

Just to change tack, My mother in laws app is accepted and processing. expected time 5-6 months.

She is looking forward to the move and "reinventing" herself, God help us.

Thank you from a US guy for some the advice you have provided. She is also looking at a cruise from the UK to US, going old school....

Cheers

No matter how I try to fill in the blanks on bl***y I can't make it come out nice.

Don't take the anti US comments too much to heart.

The way I see it is BE is primarly a website for British Expats to let off steam about the country/situation they now find themselves in. Believe it or not a few years ago we were much more vocal than we are now. My hat goes off to Americans who post on here...there is no way I could join the UKYankee website and read the posts slagging of my country.

Anyway, lansbury was being sarcastic ...

I wasn't taking it seriously at all. Just having a little scrabble fun.

You had me thinking of a suitable word to use but I couldn't think of a good one!

Especially as I'm now an American
