Member Roll Call -- Countries of origin and residence
Over the past couple of days, I have increasingly recognize the diversity of this site's membership. I have seen posts from Ukraine, Australia, Portugal, England and other countries. So that got me to thinking . . . where are y'all from?
I am from Massachusetts and now live in Florida (USA).

Re: Member Roll Call -- Countries of origin and residence
I was born in Alabama and have always lived within 60 miles of my birthplace.
I gotta tell you, you Yankess are killing Florida. 
Or, as my grandfather pronounced it Flar-dee.

The land of cups of tea on the lawn with a plate of cucumber sandwiches and scones with jam. Or fish & chips in newspapers and a cold ale.
Great Britain or England for short.
