Lamper121 239 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi all I'm originally from the UK and have been living and working in Thailand now for the last 3 years. I must admit I'm missing the the good old British countryside like hell and it makes me jealous to read some of the posts on here and I suffer terribly from nostalgia of the good old days out with the dogs etc. these little nostalgia trips always forget the cold weather and rain though! Anyone else on here and EXpat missing blighty? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,368 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Mate. 5 years in The Middle East and I couldn't agree more. The green of May, a nice pint of Marsdens Pedigree and good company. I'm sure there's loads more but they meant a lot to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greengrass 202 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Home is home, when I lived in Australia ( great country with everything going for it ) for some reason I always wanted to be back here, just one of those things I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I miss home all the time. I usually find the best antidote is to spend a week or two watching my wallet being emptied, over there. I've just put 30gallons of diesel, in my truck. £56. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's why the British love nostalgia much, maybe things were actually better in the 'good old days'. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
