Hi I'm Glen and under the spell of NY_State_of_Mind.
I too was imported but not from the US, I'm from Belgium. Although Belgium is just across the pond, I definitely can relate to some of your grievances about the UK, maybe just fewer of them than you have.
However I do feel at home here and hope that I can, even if it is in a small way, help you feel the same. If you need any help, just give me a shout!
