First time poster, occasional vistor.
Based in North Yorkshire, UK
I`m a recent P.O. convert (4 months approx)
My boss lent me "Last Light" which lead to LATOC which lead to running around like a headless chicken for a month or so then PowerSwitch, then here.
Now making active, major changes to my way of life (olong with my wife & daughter) including relocationg to the country/growing veg and generally reducing my dependance/impact as much as I can.
Pleased to be here

That's where me Dad's from -- Yorkshire. He emigrated to Pennsylvania and got a PhD in something or other to do with coal.
He comes from a little town called Barton which is south of Lancashire about 35 miles. It looks like Iowa with old stone buildings a couple of centuries old. I've flown over it a few times on Google Earth but it sparked no intimations of previous reincarnations. Maybe some dim, foggy spot in East London would do the trick -- that's where me mum's from.
You see, I'm a Yorkshire-Cockney mix, born in the States and therefore did not have the benefit of the superior British elementary school system. So I think I must be the worst sort of Englishman this side of Hottentot.
Yes, I was born here, so now I'm stuck with this Yankee twang. Damn! I could have been strangely incomprehensible to anyone else speaking English anywhere in the world!
Wish I could imitate the Yorkshire lilt in text. Know any local rhymes?
Welcome.
