Common Q&A About Being English Living In Canada

Hey 
and welcome back to my blog, What you may not know about me is that I am from England and I live in Canada, and the distance between where I lived in England to where I currently live is over 3700 miles, and I get a lot of questions about being English in Canada so I thought I would answer them in a post

What Accent Do You Have?
This maybe a wired question for a Blog post as you don't hear my voice but it is one of the most common questions I get asked when people hear me talk. I have an English Accent. A south English Accent, and every now and then I will say words that will sound a little more South West and other times it will sound a little more South East, which leads me in to my next question


Where Are You From In England
I was born in Somerset and lived there until I was 8, when I was 8 I moved to Hampshire until the weekend of my 14th birthday, around that time I moved to East Sussex where I lived until I was 19 and just over 2 weeks after my birthday i moved to Canada


Do You Know _____ They Are From ____
This question is really funny because for how small of a place England (with wales, Scotland and Ireland with it) it really isn't that big, and for such a small place there are a lot of people, I will very rarely know the person, a lot of people that ask me the question the place people will always ask if I know someone from Manchester which is about 4 hours away from where I lived

Crewkerne
Birth to 8

Do You Know One Direction
No.... I had moved to Canada 2 years before they were formed

Why Canada
Canada is such a beautiful contrary, we had been on vacation 2 or 3 times as a family, and then again over Christmas while my dad was over here, as my mum and I had to sell the house and work out our notice at our jobs, and each time we came we fell in love even more


Why To Chatham (The City I lived in for about 7.5 years)

Southampton
8-14

The short answer is my dad got a job in Chatham. He had 5 job interviews, and had to pick his top three and Chatham was one of them and the owner of the restaurant my dad worked at wanted my dad to work for him, and so that's why we chose Chatham


Do You Have Any Family Over Here
I have no family over here apart from my dad. I moved here with both parents but unfortunately my mum passed away


Do You Have Any Family In England
Most of my family still live in England. That's aunts, uncles, cousins and some extended family, and I do also have a second cousin - my dads cousin - who lives in Texas USA

I live in Bexhill
between the ages of 14-19

What Do You Miss about England
I would be lying if I said no. England is my home. When it comes down to sports I will always support the England teams. Its where I lived for 19 years of my life, its my home contary and I am very happy to be English. I miss so much stuff such as friends and family, and then there are smaller things are such as the Pubs, proper fish and chips, football, hanging out with friends.








So there we are, they are currentley the most common questons I have gotten since I have moved to Canada, and on Sunday 15th November (3 days) I can imagine I will get a lot more as I am moving
