One of our fellow fantastic ameri-brits has tagged us in her blog!  This is in reference to the ’25 random things’ email that’s going around right now.  In response to An American Girl’s list – here are 11 random things about me.

In keeping with this blog, I will make them all random facts related to the time I was first moving to England:

1. I’ve moved to England twice.  Once with my family when I was 16 and once when I was 22 to come and marry Mr Nice Guy
2. I used to call tea ‘dirt in a cup’ until I tried Earl Grey and he seduced me…
3. I genuinely thought most streets would be cobblestone streets before I moved here
4. I like M&M’s but I don’t like Smarties.  Must be those tasty E-numbers!
5. I’m still often stymied by British pronunciation.  How can ‘Derby’ be called ‘Dar-bee’?
6. My hair grows MUCH more quickly when I’m in England (this is confirmed by the lady that cuts my hair)
7. I don’t like having baked beans for breakfast – it kinda freaks me out…
8. Fried bread also freaks me out
9. I first moved to England with my family when I was 16
10. The first thing an English person said to me when I got here was ‘What’s a Twinkie?’
11. I don’t think it rains in England nearly as much as everyone thinks, but I DO think I notice it more because I’m usually walking instead of driving.

How about you Peacefulyorkshire and Pacificyorkshirebird?  Any takers?
