    Wow! You guys aren't going to believe this! So Mrs. Deez spoke to her supervisor today, and we've been offered a chance to relocate to the UK. I know that sounds too coincidental to be true, but it is. No ****. We haven't decided yet whether to go, but it sure is an interesting omen. It's almost as though it's "meant to be."

    Thanks! It's going to take a lot of thought and prayer on this. There are some downsides, and we're not taking Deez, Jr. out of his school mid-year. It's not right to do that to a kindergartener if it isn't truly necessary, so if they really want her to go, they'll have to wait a few months (which I think they're willing to do). It's not a promotion. She'd be doing the same job, but they need somebody who's dedicated exclusively to the UK, and they don't want a newbie up there on her own.

    We'll see. After Brexit, it'll be an expensive pain in the *** to get good German beer, and that's going to be a tough sell for me. Lol

    Honestly I do the same thing. Lol. What I might do is look into what it would take to get licensed there. It's not particularly hard here, but obviously nobody wants someone who isn't fluent in German representing him in a German court. In the UK, I wouldn't be at as big of a disadvantage.

    On the bright side, bangers and mash, and bubble and squeak are plentiful and cheap!

    If you get a good job in the UK you can get all of the expensive German beer you want.

    If anyone wants to watch the big Brexit rally in Parliament Square, it's being live streamed on Youtube. Some funny stuff.

    Quite a bit longer than 3 years, actually.

    You'll notice that the Euronews feed that I posted to last night made the crowd look much smaller.

    I don't think she means the Irish don't speak english, but I could be wrong since the English barely speak english

    London? If so, it's expensive, at least to me

    RAF Feltwell - about two hours Northeast of London.

    let's see what you say about it after 6 months

    ps - I have relatives on the NE Coast almost due east of you (Great Yarmouth), been there a few times to visit them

    Mrs. Deez wants to do it. I think she's sick of Germans. They're far less personable than the Brits are. In addition, though I picked up quite a bit of Deutsch, she didn't. I think she's ready to be done with that.

    Remember that they like to “top up” their coffee.

    We'll adjust to the lingo. I'm more worried about driving a US vehicle on the left side of the road.
