Just being nosey - where is everyone from

hehe, florida each time, did the whole disney thing, my friend has a house out there which we rent, its heaven and the people are amazing, american folks over in the uk seem to be given a bad press, i never met a single person over there that wasn't fantastic, also strange everyone seems to think that the food is burgers and fries in the states where as the french are known for their excellent food, I've found this to be the opposite, in france all we could find was pizzas and in america we ate like royalty
 
My (English) husband and I often laugh at the stereotypes for each country. I've been treated really well here and people seem to like me and talk to me wherever I go. I am quite friendly and wacky, without being TOO friendly and wacky. Philly, similar to New York is an amazing place with a huge ethnic and cultural variety (both people and food). You could find Italian, Jewish, French, Thai, Carribean and Soul Food all within a block of each other. Florida is similar in that a lot of the Northeasterners retire there (and bring their food culture with them!) So you get a great deal of diversity there as well. If you ever plan to venture further north in the USA let me know and I can recommend you a boatload of places to see and things to do!
 
Thanks... its my dream to drive america coast to coast if funds and time ever allow it
 

And I was crying when I got to Heathrow to go back home to the States.
LOL/Regarding getting hit by a car, that almost happened a few times to me walking in London because the "Look Right" before crossing never sunk in. Your round-abouts are a riot too!
 
I looked the wrong way while crossing a 3 lane road in the US, stepped out pushing a pushchair and holding a toddlers hand. Know what? 3 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic came to a screeching halt! I **** well looked in the right direction then I can tell you.

Im a newbie from Cumbria! It's nice to see where everyone is from x
 

By the RIGHT direction I hope you mean left, in the States, LOL.
Drivers here in the Midwest USA are much more polite than they are on the East Coast, but, I see that they are getting to be just as impatient and rude as the East Coast.
Glad that the traffic stopped for you and your little one.
