Anyone here from the UK?

Well I was born and raised in Leeds, but I'm a quarter Irish (my surname's Devine, which is apparently very Irish). So who else here lives in the UK?

Welcome I think you'll find a fair few people living in the UK on boards. I lived in London for quite some time not that long ago, born in Ireland but living in the US now.

Strangly nearly all the UK residents on boards are Irish while nearly all the British here live in Ireland. Or thats how it seems to me.

I lived in London for a year after college. Then the Green Card Fairy arrived and whisked me off to Philadelphia...

No, Wivenhoe, just outside Colchester. Far too expensive property-wise and a bit of an OAP's paradise. Not as bad as Clacton on the OAP front, though!

i was born in chester, uk, in the north west to an irish father and canadian mother. spent most of my childhood in county mayo, then moved to canada as a teenager. so i'm technically english, i'm a citizen, but i've got no desire to live there again. my family is in ireland and i'd much rather move back to ireland.
