I guess if you move to live in another country (as your choice) you must have good reasons to leave but from what I hear they are reasons of climate more than anything. I think most retain a loyalty to their homeland without necessarily wanting to return.<br />(It's really me this time !! )Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-39627615292340472392013-05-21T07:57:33.267+01:002013-05-21T07:57:33.267+01:00Geoff Boycott !

Good luck to you Yorkshire Pudd, support your country. Sorry about the Ashes coming back to Oz very shortly. Should I also mention the British Lions about to get a hammering ? Better leave that one until later !<br /><br />Probably should mention this is a Tony comment, I have high jacked Helsies account !Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-79139554800127890772013-05-19T06:09:37.978+01:002013-05-19T06:09:37.978+01:00I too adore my native England, which is probably w...I too adore my native England, which is probably why I'm so often saddened by what goes on over there!<br /><br />Did I really see 'Arthur Scargill' amongst your heros?
