Hey folks, as a Brit living in the US, I just wanted to thank y'all for allowing me to live, work and generally be here! I for one am very humbled by the support you lot have given us. Take care everyone and seriously, it's a real pleasure to work with all of you guys/girls and I hope you all have a safe holiday!

 

Back at you buddy, from what I hear you guys do great work, happy Thanks Giving and its great to have you in the hood.

Cheers Alex! Hope you get pissed this weekend (Brit slang for you Yankees )!

Funny, talking to you, I didn't notice any English accent. We have an office in Pool, England and man do those guys love their cars and motorcycles!

 

see I feel right at home now Sad to say my drinking prowess would not stand up too well against the traditional English-boozers!

I've been here since 1998 and over the course of that time and being married to an LA-woman my accent has been nuetered. My mum gives me grief about it everytime she comes to visit....

PS I should be a US Citizen by this time next year

 

Man Alex, Happy Thanksgiving to you and James..Sharkwerks has helped to elevate this community to a higher standard of class and stature.. Thanks for supporting the 6..Now go make some Yorkshire Pudding!!

 

Sharky i had no idea you were also English, Happy Thanksgiving mate! I'll be giving you a call shortly to give you some business.

I actually just picked up my parents @ LAX last night as they came to celebrate with myself and our family out here. Also i lol'd at your comment about your mom givingyou grief over your accent - 90% of the arguments i have with my mom is when she informs me that i am speaking like an American and need to keep my accent and identity! I only get pissed because i know she's correct!

I too would like to wish all a happy Thanksgiving to all on the board,

Joshua.

 

my mom makes yorkshire pudding for thanksgiving. she is british.

but bad news, thanksgiving aint till tomorrow

 

I wish she would next day me some Sheperds Pie! The only thing I can eat back there is Indian food, Chinese food and... Sheperds Pie!

 

Cheers very much Kenny Yorkshire Pudding... hehe... I'm from London and not the North. You need to watch Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells

Take care man and be safe- everyone put their cars/toys away for a few days and spend some time with the family....

 

Hey Joshua, I love the screen name... Happy thanksgiving to you too mate... I know exactly where you are coming from. When I pick my mum up from SFO or LAX it only takes 30 seconds and then she goes "Why do you have to roll your L's blah blah?" The worst part now is that people think I'm Australian

Right there with you...it's such a bloody insult!

Where in London are you from? I was born and raised in Radlett and moved to Hampstead when i was 15.

ROFL The Aussies aren't all bad.. they're just better at sports than us...

I was born/raised in the Lancaster Gate area (right near Hyde Park) and went to Westminster School and then the LSE>

 

Ha...so true.

Good stuff, U of London grad here too.

Take care,

Josh.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Alex, James and to your families.

You guys are the best - see you some time soon.

Rich

 

Aw thanks Rich Seriously, the same to you and be careful out there guys. The way people have been driving (even today) is erratic to say the least!
