First, let me state there's nothing political about this, I'm just throwing this out there.

I have some friends (originally both from the UK), who've lived abroad for many years. They've been living in the States for a good few years now (I think about 13/14) and show no signs of coming home, so have decided to take citizenship.

Their daughter (now 21) was born in Switzerland, has only lived in the UK for about 3 years, and took US citizenship as soon as she turned 21, about 6 months ago. Fair enough, she is to all intents and purposes a Yank. Even if she can do a very good English accent when needed..

Although I've travelled widely, I've always considered myself a Brit through and through and although this country's got it's issues I've never really felt the urge to up sticks and go and live somewhere else, let alone permanently.

Has anyone done it and did it work out for you? Discuss.

Cheers,

Plug
