Brits in Indiana/Illinois

 Share

Recommended Posts

Just wondered really. I've anecdotally noticed a few of us soon-to-be Hoosiers and erm.. Illinoisians.. (I can't remember what you guys are called).

I'm over on Brits In America http://britsinamericanetwork.us/ and I started an Indiana group (has two members so far :( ) so if anyone wants to join feel free.

I think we could do with building a Brits in Hoosierland network and have tea parties... erm... well, maybe not tea parties but you know what I mean. I know it's going to be tough for me without any British influence!

Ahhh ok we'll let the Irish in too! Y'all do have good beer, and Chicago/Midwest is full of Irish folks (especially South Bend/Notre Dame, you'd go down well there!).

Nice to see there's a few of us going to be living in the midwest.

Take a trip over to the Brits in America link I posted - be nice to get a group of us together we can all keep in touch. I'm definitely going to be starved of British accents otherwise (and Irish ;)).

I'll be in country 29th July then the wedding is Aug 13th. I'm sure there will be time after then for a meetup. I will have lots of free time (but sadly no car unless I nick the Mrs's).

It's either do stuff or her father will get me doing work around the house.
