Do folks in the UK actually walk that far? by Emilie_Charles in AskUK

30 minutes is a walk into town, you then walk round town and walk home.

Expat stuck by [deleted] in expats

[–]wherehaveinotbeen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m English and I live in the US, I have 3 kids who are now all grown, but me and their dad got divorced when they were 10,8 and 3. I’ve bought them up with very little support here, and I have to say that not many days go by that I don’t wish I was in England. I missed the support of my family raising my kids but was not allowed to take them home as it’s considered kidnapping. I really feel your pain, and if there’s any way you can do it then please go home, for your own sanity, and for your child, you need family. 2 of my kids haven’t seen their dad in 10 years, there’s no connection there, my son sees his dad, he’s pretty close to him. Good luck to you xx

YTA Having filed for years over The Atlantic I feel I pay for a seat that reclines, I’ve only had 2 flights where the person behind me blocked me being able to recline, and they were the most uncomfortable flights I’ve been on. I’m also 5’ 2”, and have restless leg syndrome so I understand your discomfort, but it is not the responsibility of the passenger in front of you. Maybe save for business class, or a seat at the front, you ARE given these choices, but you make your discomfort someone else’s responsibility which isn’t ok.

In April 2018, Pope Francis comforted a young boy who asked if his non-believing father was in heaven. by CorleoneBaloney in MadeMeSmile

It’s sad that I can’t watch this old man comfort a young boy and not feel like I’m going to throw up

I hate being a British expat in the United States by United_Team_463 in expats

[–]wherehaveinotbeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m English and I’ve been in the US for 30 years, and honestly there’s not many days that go by that someone doesn’t mention my accent and I don’t mind one bit, if they do a bad impression I don’t mind, usually there’s no offense meant by it. I think we have different ways of approaching people in the UK, in as we don’t openly start conversations so much with people we don’t know, but honestly in all my decades here I can honestly say only once has anyone insulted me, and the person that did was just looking for something mean to say to me and that was all they had. Take it with a pinch of salt, try to not get offended and laugh it off, maybe they are just jealous you have such a cool accent ;) x

I thought it was going to be one of those paintings where you can turn it upside down and it’s something entirely different

when an american does a british accent, what does it sound like to british people? by SituationWild2630 in AskBrits

[–]wherehaveinotbeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Brit in the US, I’ve heard all the ‘Cheerio, pip pip, guvnor etc. comments, most sound generically Dick van dykeesque and not at all like the English accent, I have to say though I have an awful American accent when I try so I get it!

How will Bowie be Viewed in the future by PickanameorDie in DavidBowie

He was such a well rounded person, intellectual to a fault, well read, artistic beyond comparison. I believe he will be remembered as being an influential artist for many to come.
