Hola

Im'm now living in Hartlepool with a couple of exiled geordies! Do I qualify as an ex-PAT. I used to be a postman does that count to?

Well done you two for the ex Pat comments :) Now are there any real EX Pats who have any requests - old photos, info ect on how certain tyneside areas are doing or how they look these days.

I did laugh at the "ex-pat" comments ha. I am not sure what the real term refers to however, ex-patriot? Hmmm...I will look this up so I am more on the ball...

"...is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country and culture other than that of the person's birth".

I looked it up. Well, if nothing else, this forum is making me learn. I'd rather learn and educate myself than be a complete ignoramus.

Ha Ha. I hadn't noticed the comment by rooneytoon. Witty. I still live in Gateshead. Never lived anywhere else. Always Tyneside. Maybe I need to spread my wings a bit. When I have traveled south however I have found that people are generally less friendly.
