[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 1371, member: 22"] Everyone loves a touch of home ;). I sure do miss a good many things about Britain that America just can't provide, so I imagine it's the same for everyone who experiences life in another country. Bolton's a bit of a working class area, always living in the shadow of the neighbouring mega cities, Manchester and Liverpool. It's got a lot of charms to it, though, and a strong university, and the people are down to earth and friendly. One of my biggest hopes is to go back for a visit at some point, even watch my hometown team play in the ground that wasn't even built the last time I was there (watched them play in their old ground, Burnden Park in 1993, it closed down after 102 years in 1997, now it's an ASDA (Wal-Mart owned grocery chain). A couple of people compiled YouTube videos of Bolton, like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4jzA6IaW4s]this one[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5nA05YBpIc]this one[/url] if anyone's curious about it. I can see why, that's a breathtaking looking place. A bit of a nothing accent, honestly. People pick out that I'm not exactly local to Arizona, but they're stunned when I tell them I'm British because I don't have a typical British accent of any variety. It comes out in certain words I say, or certain pronunciations of words (I still say tom-ah-toe, not tom-ay-toe, and vit-ah-min not vite-a-min), and if you get me around other British folk it comes out somewhat easily, but in general conversation I just have a sort of nothing, pseudo-Americanized almost Canadian-esque accent. Hard to describe, but uniquely mine :D [/QUOTE]
