UK regional forum

[Dr_LHA 3]

the suggestion of people trolling regionals unrelated to their SO's is sad, heck - many people in the MENA regional forum probably think I am trolling since my profile says Canada, we all have interesting points of view to offer. whatever forum you are in don't forget your diplomacy and apostrophes.

NON BRIT!!!!!

But but but...I'm a non Brit!

Yes, but you'd got a little bit of Brit in you, or at least, you probably have recently.

I am deeply shocked and offended by such sexual innuendo and cannot believe we have plunged to such depths in this forum.

(heh heh, good one Dr_LHA! )

Getting back to topic, I love the UK forum and have no difficulty whatsoever with others participating in our discussions. I like to believe we are an equal opportunity forum. My only concern is to TimsDaisy's point about posting non-relevant info regarding consulate-specific questions.

Otherwise, I like to hear others weigh in on such scintillating topics, including, but not limited to, brain washing.

This post pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject.

I don't have an issue with anyone posting here, wherever they or their partner/mother/dog may be from. I like this forum: I visit often and post rarely. Perhaps I have a gripe with people who have a feral urge to reply to every thread just to argue or contradict someone else, and I do get pissed off when people slag off something that I hold dear, but at the end of the day this is a place anyone can come along and voice their opinion, and who am I to say who can or can't come here? And for that matter, who are we to even know who here is a Brit/American/adult in 'real life'? Take as you find is a good motto to live by. If people on this board are annoying, I don't care where they're from. They're still annoying.

Just since it was mentioned, I knew nothing about any argument in the Russian Forum until it was mentioned here. But I haven't been to that forum or searched for that thread, I couldn't care less to read another gazillion pages of one-upmanship tyvm.

I'm glad you asked the original question, Lisa. I accidentally ended up in that other thread, also. (Because the title on the home page (without forum category reference) said something about wanting input from VJ old-timers so off I went to the rescue! lol) Anyway, it got me wondering if I would be welcome in other regional forums, and then I saw this thread.

Though it does not appear that I am part of a UK/US couple, in actuality I am. I am the British Subject and my husband is the USC. I just got here in a roundabout way.

So thank you for asking the question, Lisa. From the majority of the related responses it appears that I won't be ostracized for not having a British flag on my i.d. I actually thought as much but, after the attacks in the other forum, I certainly wondered.

Thank you!!

I am the British Subject

Are you a British Subject or a British Citizen? They are not the same thing.

[Krikit 1,165]

I am a British citizen by birth. Is that helpful?

You should stop referring to yourself as a British Subject then.

Welcome, K!

I am glad that the attitude in this forum is (mostly) 'jump on in and tell us whatcha think.' If this site stands for anything, it deffo should stand for 'where you're from makes no difference!'

You are obviously much younger than I. I apologize for offending you.

Perhaps, I'm 33 - I don't know how old you are. However I know that the term "British Subject" has not applied to natural born British Citizens since 1983. British Subjects these days are a fairly narrowly defined group of people who are British by right of being born in a former colony, but not being a Citizen. I'm not offended, it was a question. You might have geniunely been a British Subject, which is why I asked.

Thread is 7 years old guys. Calling for a lock.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Oh wow, this thread just brought on a major case of the feels, even if everyone was bickering in it. So many peeps I haven't seen on here in years... because they probably have lives now, unlike me.
