I want to be British

Aw, shucks! :o making circles in the dirt with my toe

You’re not canuck in any capacity are you? Canucks under the age of 30 can live and work for up to 2 yrs in the UK.

I’ve started my paperwork I am fast approaching the funds I need. :slight_smile:

Today I came home to England after a two week holiday in Sicily. It isn’t until you go away that you really appreciate what you have at home. You’re right, Britain is a great place. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

If you’re truly British, discussing how late the no.7 bus is today is much more important.

I wanna be British, simply because I love the culture across the pond we call the Atlantic Ocean. I have never been there sigh but once I get older I am planning on spending a summer there or something thru the school. Going to a rich and large school has it’s benefits. If I like it, when I get older I may join you U.K. Dopers over there.

Yeah, because in England you can’t have a comfortable life, drive a big car or have a big apartment. It’s just not allowed, you know.

Oh, and I love Britain. I love the culture, the food, the weather, the countryside, the accent… sigh I miss it.

And finding my great-grandfather’s house in London was pretty cool.

I admire England. I’m told my forefathers came from there. I’m uncomfortable, though, with a country where the leaders claim to revere both Reagan and Bush v.43. I guess they do here, too, so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Egad.

Oh, c’mon, I’ve never heard of anyone from England named L.A.

There are a number of pesticides that can make you sterile. Byt it’s kind of a vrap ahoot – they may also kill you.

Is that a problem?

Maybe I live next door to your family. Let me tell you that that rotting wreck of a car holds no damn sentimentality for us. Get rid of the bloody eyesore!

Oh, jeez, preview, preview. Make that “kind of a crap shoot”.

I love going to the UK for holidays- particularly Scotland. But it is expensive to live- the price of petrol is really something else. And they can’t play cricket for crap. But- I did enjoy the darts tournaments on television.

:slight_smile:

Please ignore my last couple of posts, I put them in the wring thread. Absent-mindedness, a noted English trait.

And here I thought you were speaking Welsh.

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I’d be perfectly happy to live with Frannie.

But that’s just me.

Johnny , the fact you even mentioned beer in your OP without saying you had a slight hankering for Germany leaves me perplexed. What next? A move to Upper Mogolia because you seek finer Scotch? :eek:

duffer: I prefer English and Irish brews to German ones.

FWIW, there is no finer scotch (at least that I’ve tasted) than Laphroaig.

WELLLLLL…Since it’s your birthday and all…
