Anyone on here who calls the UK home?

Anyone either currently in the uk or perhaps living abroad but are from the uk originally? I’m from Newcastle in the north of the uk 😊

We're not from the North East, far from it, but we've lived here for 16 years and we love it. Some of the most genuine and open people we've ever met.

I used to. But I've been living outside the UK for 35 years. I go back to visit family and enjoy being a tourist.
Claire2k · 22-25, F
That’s a great insight :) it was dead easy for me being in Australia!! @ninalanyon
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@Claire2k So learning 'Strine' was easy?
:-)
Claire2k · 22-25, F
Haha - some of their lingo takes some getting used to!! They have slang for everything! @ninalanyon

There's a Newcastle near where I live, but I live in Australia. Dad's family came from Yorkshire, around Keighley and Skipton.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Claire2k Haha! The Scots get everywhere, there's probably a Scottish town out there somewhere in Australia called Glenwacken Ma Moan or some other unpronounceable Gaelic word.
Claire2k · 22-25, F
Probably!! 😬 I’m sure the Aussies would love to live in ‘Clachnacuddin’ in ‘Not so new South Scotland’!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Allelse
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Claire2k Hahahaha!!! If we could pronounce it. Though if it was a Welsh name it'd have a bunch of 'G's 'Y's and 'V's in all kids of funny places. But I love listening to people talk in Welsh.

Claire2k · 22-25, F
Do you travel around a lot? What’s it like ‘being on the road’? I imagine it must be nice not having to answer to too many people, but I guess it would have its down sides? @Wayne1170
Wayne1170 · M
@Claire2k yes I do travel around alot delivering frozen foods to different depots . I like it very much after getting made redundant because of covid so went back to truck driving last year

MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
I am surprised you didn't stipulate the North East after all it's a very different place to the North West where I am. I know how proud you Geordies are. I am near Wigan.

By the way my cousin's son lives was born and lives in Perth but he is a Newcastle United supporter.
