John Peace Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have been in the US for over 30 years now. Mostly in Southern California with a stint in Chicago and currently in Seattle. Also travelled through most of the states and let me tell you I have met Plenty of Ex Pats during that time. Folk from Devon, London, lots from Manchester/Blackpool/Preston/Liverpool area, and plenty of Irishmen. But Guess what, I can count the number of Yorkshiremen on one hand, and it's a big fat zero from Sheffield. Strange dont ya think ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
