Hi from Oslo, Norway!
Liverpool
Germany, now living in South East England. Not a fan, to be honest with you. I'll have to stay a bit longer but I don't see a future here. Housing, cost of living, healthcare, blatant government corruption (or, as it's called here, "sleaze", I don't know why people aren't calling it out for what it is), an out-of-control Met, systematic neglect of reports of domestic violence and the regular news of women who had reported it, got ignored and then killed by their abusive partners... The list goes on. I really love this country, the countryside here is stunning (especially in the south in the summer), people are so friendly, I have really enjoyed living here, despite lockdowns and the questionable food. But it's just too much that's going wrong to stay here long-term, sadly
A lot of that seems to be a London problem rather than a UK problem, but we'll not discuss the P word here.

Ex West London, now Buckinghamshire
Suffolk. Detectorists country.
Wyoming ... shire.
How on earth did you end up in !UKCasual? Not a criticism or anything, I'm just curious. :)
Usually people ask me how the hell I ended up in Wyoming, which is also a fair question. But, as 1st mentioned, you were on the front page.

Bath/Bristol area here!
Essex here - not long moved from London...
North Ayrshire.
South Wales now, but originally from Yorkshire
Badger's Drift
Please give my regards to Ms Bellringer. :)
Oxfordshire but originally West Midlands. The locals still wince when I talk ;)
London for a while now. South west before that.
I'm up in Wigan - always feels like on the internet everyone is in London or down south!
Canada... This post appeared on my feed on kbin.social 🤷
I am addicted to UK panel shows and comedy though, so there's a connection?
Favorite panel show?
I love QI and Cats does Countdown. And although it's not exactly a panel show, I'm a big fan of Taskmaster.
Have you managed to find a shred of info about why the latest season of Cats only did one episode then just... stopped? Whenever I try to google it I can't seem to find anything about it
I'm also from Canada (Southern Ontario) and love all those shows as well. Be sure to check out The Unbelievable Truth radio show as well. Currently listening through a second time I enjoyed it so much!

Oh I love WILTY
I live in California, but I'm from Yorkshire.
There's a local shop where I can buy mushy peas or scones when necessary.
Don't buy scones when you can make them super easily

What about Yorkshire Tea? Please tell me you can get Yorkshire Tea and we don't need to send an urgent food parcel! /joke
I can get it, but Tetley is fairly common in grocery stores now, at normal prices, so I can make do with that!
Hailing from Bexley here. The greatest of all the London boroughs 😉
Melbourne, Australia
Ah yes, my favourite European country. They must be, they compete in the Eurovision after all. And usually with a better song than us. :)
