blimey, that's pukka


Tonight, my breadwinner mentioned that there is a position open in his company in London. I started popping off about all the benefits of Socialism and that's when he said it would only be for about a year. It's not temporary, but he doesn't think he would want to stay there longer than that.
Gorgeous, I thought. That's a perfect amount of time, every major holiday would be spent there, I could even have the experience of trying to find pumpkin in the grocery stores there on Thanksgiving.
Other items that fall in the "pro" column would be:
Our next baby would likely be born in the UK so s/he would have dual citizenship.
I could visit the pasty homeland of my forfathers.
I already speak the language.
Brits love candy.
Cons would be:
Bombers love London, always have.
No family, no friends.
No Target, Goodwill or Ross.
We would have to rent our lovely little house.

Please participate in my first ever blog poll that I've added to the sidebar.
Over thataway. -->
