Just curious how spread out we are. I'm up in West Yorkshire myself.

I am addicted to UK panel shows and comedy though, so there's a connection?

How on earth did you end up in !UKCasual? Not a criticism or anything, I'm just curious. :)

Usually people ask me how the hell I ended up in Wyoming, which is also a fair question. But, as 1st mentioned, you were on the front page.

Hahaha, reading through the comments, I was like, am I in a Brit-only sub.

New Mexistan here.

Edit: Ok, maybe I did end up somewhere I’m not supposed to be. Still don’t understand the Fediverse. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Germany, now living in South East England. Not a fan, to be honest with you. I'll have to stay a bit longer but I don't see a future here. Housing, cost of living, healthcare, blatant government corruption (or, as it's called here, "sleaze", I don't know why people aren't calling it out for what it is), an out-of-control Met, systematic neglect of reports of domestic violence and the regular news of women who had reported it, got ignored and then killed by their abusive partners... The list goes on. I really love this country, the countryside here is stunning (especially in the south in the summer), people are so friendly, I have really enjoyed living here, despite lockdowns and the questionable food. But it's just too much that's going wrong to stay here long-term, sadly

[-] sideone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

A lot of that seems to be a London problem rather than a UK problem, but we'll not discuss the P word here.

In which case, please allow me to pre-emptively welcome you to the UK! I hope you enjoy your time here. :)

Ah yes, my favourite European country. They must be, they compete in the Eurovision after all. And usually with a better song than us. :)

Teesside-ish. Our counties got so messed up around here nobody is really quite sure which one anyone is in.

After living in several places I seem to have settled Manchester-ish. Far enough away to not be bothered by the city, close enough to commute if I have to.
