I had a Costco membership for two years, joined when one first opened near me, waste of time unless you have a large family or a corner shop, I think I shopped in there three times in 24 months? They did sell a few low end rolex watches in the one local but nothing worth getting excited about.

Currently living 3331 miles from where I live in England, this will be the third year I am spending 6 months here and we own the place so it's our abode. The furthest I ever actually lived from the place I was born was 6605 miles.One of my sons lives 8824 miles from his birthplace. In the UK I live 287 miles from where I was born, as wise old man once told me it's a big planet but a small world.

Do you live from where you were born? Met an old bloke earlier who emigrated here from Scotland 40+ years ago and has only been back to his place of birth twice in all that time.

One of my sisters lives in London, her partner always asks her has she been talking to me as we both slip into how we used to talk when chatting to each other. My brother married a lady from East London and lives in deptford, you can't tell he was born in the NE as he has a very neutral accent.

Pitmen from the UK migrated across the world as well as within the country,I wonder if there's pitmatic slang in use anywhere Ozzie FIFO mines and suchlike places, wouldn't surprise me if the odd phrase or word had migrated and stuck.
