Re: started in Jeopardy
Don't know which country (or planet) you've been in the last two years (LybsterRoy)
I have to strongly endorse this view... (A.A.Hamilton)
I'm very sorry to hear this. And to answer the question directly: the last two years I have not been in the UK, partly driven by the exact reasons you mention, but then experienced "from the other side".
Unfortunately I must also admit by now that it is certainly different elsewhere. Or perhaps more fair to say, can be, regarding the grass in all the geographic experiences I have been able to experience.
