Simple really. Do you live in a country other than the one you were born in?

Yes
No
I used to.

Elaborate in the comments because that's the entire point of the thread :-)

Oh, yes. Very much so. I was born in Indiana in 1952. The United States in 2016 is a very different country. it's hard even to recognize them as related some days.

I used to live in the U.S.A. But not sure what is called anymore. It is definitely foreign compared to what it used to be.

Tom Reed20 Oct 2016 11:54 a.m. PST

Kind of a Green Acres thing!

Have been away but live in same town (mailing wise) as I grew up in. My dad still lives in same small town he was born in. Apples pretty much fall straight down in my family.

Gen Custer20 Oct 2016 2:56 p.m. PST

jeffreyw320 Oct 2016 4:58 p.m. PST

Martin Rapier20 Oct 2016 11:07 p.m. PST

I live in Yorkshire but was born in Lancashire. They may as well be different countries….

Rod I Robertson20 Oct 2016 11:33 p.m. PST

Perhaps. It depends on the results of the next sovereignty referendum!

Cheers.

My wife was a Air Force brat, she more than makes up for my lack of mobility

brass121 Oct 2016 10:51 a.m. PST

I was born in the USA but now I live in Louisiana, which may not even be on the same planet.

FWIW, I remember John the (self-styled) Greater being brought home from the hospital. He has gotten taller since then but his appearance and general attitude haven't changed significantly.
