It takes far too long to sift through all the archives for the answers to my kazillion questions, so would any British man on this list who has married an...
... Don't even bother with bringing a US television to the UK. It simply will not work. This is because British TV signals are in the PAL format, while...
My computer is NEW and unfortunately would NOT work with a convertor. The power supply was unable to get enough electrical current for the monitor to even ...
PAL has more lines of resolution and a more stable system of chroma separation. Hence a much better picture. NTSC is a bit of a joke to the rest of the world,...
This is another good reason apart from the obvious health and energy benefits of using a LCD monitor instead of a CRT, they are already universal voltage. Jim ...
Thanks for all the info about televisions and electricity. I'd done a search of the listserv, but it's always good to have updated information as technology...
halo denise. i am on the same boat as you. i am american & my boyfriend is british & we've been trying to have an international relationship for over a year...
Always preferrable to get married in the country you want to reside in. If your doing so in the UK you will need to book well in advance even for a registry ...
I'm a US citizen who was married in the UK! I came over on a visitors visa in July 2001 and was married here in December 20001 with no problem whatsoever....
As a US citizen living in the UK for 6 mos. on visitor's passport, would there be any restrictions on me - other than, of course, the fact that I could not...
Wow, Miami to Frodsham, there's a big jump. I went the other way, I once lived in Frodsham and moved to Miami! Still have a cousin in Frodsham. Your fiance ...
I think that you are pretty much allowed to do whatever you like, you just aren't allowed to get paid for it! ... __________________________________ Do you...
Denise, thanks for asking that question. I wondered about that myself. I found this information: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_web/acs/ukentry/enter-uk.htm ...
Any Americans in the Hounslow area? I'm moving there next week! Roz, are you nearby? Also have a question: if I needed my signature notarized while in England,...
I'll be there for 6 months. What are some practical suggestions as to things I might want to bring with me? I use Mary Kay make-up, so a supply of that is one...
Dear tealover Denise. Some things that I have friends bring me when they visit are: Ziplock Freezer bags Peanut butter Pancake syrup (artificial kind) WINDEX...
To be honest Denise, you can find just about everything here that you need, you just might have to look for it. There are stores that sell American items so I...
Hi Denise - I am in Hammersmith London, and I am not sure how far that is from Hounslow. I haven't needed to have anything notarized since I have been here....
... Notary services are available at the US embassy in London - and, more generally, from American consulates worldwide. You'll pay $30. There also a...
Thank you all for answers. Nothing in particular that I can't live without-except the Mary Kay and a good hairdresser! ha ha Re the notary public, I may have...
I know that I - and perhaps others - have probably beat this question into the ground, but once again: If I am in the UK on a US passport (which is "good" for...
... Also, I've noticed that apartments here are more 'furnished' than their US counterparts (worth checking out). My stepson had one that came complete with...
When renting a furnished flat, is it a possible to get the landlord to store items one doesn't need? For example, I bought a new bed before I found out about...
Well I guess anythings possible but typically I'd say no. Of course there are some good landlords/ladies out there but when your relying on someone's...
I agree with Mark. It is very unlikely that you will find someone who will store your things for you. Can you put the bed in storage in the US? If not, then...
The place I'll be living in has only a tub, no shower. This will be a VERY big adjustment for me, especially since I have long hair and am used to washing my...
