American Football = the real football?
The Superbowl parties are finally upon us, but for those Canadians & Americans in the UK, watching the Superbowl can be a real challenge.
Help your fellow ex-pats out by sharing where you’re watching the Superbowl in the UK this weekend. Leave your comments below!
And if you’re rooting for one team over another, share your allegiance here too.
Every once in a while, I get contacted by someone in the media who is looking for Canadians and Americans making the move to the United Kingdom. I’m always happy to share the news with you, dear readers, as you might just get the chance to be on British Television. What fun! It’s for Channel 4, which is a channel I watched almost every day when I lived in London.
Dear Victoria,
I am writing to you from The Garden Productions, an independent production company founded last year by the team who made the BAFTA award-winning series One Born Every Minute and more recently, 24 Hours in A&E on Channel 4.
We are currently making an exciting new documentary series for Channel 4 about love, and are looking to talk to couples where one person is planning to make a big change in their life to be with their partner, for example relocating to the UK from abroad. This intelligent and sensitive series will reflect relationships throughout a lifetime – from the first kiss to the final farewell and everything else in between.
We are trying to spread the word as widely as possible and as people from North America that are planning to relocate to the UK may well visit your ‘Canadians and Americans in the UK’ blog, I wondered if it might be possible to mention
our search so anyone interested can get in touch with us direct? I’ve attached a flyer which outlines who we are looking to talk to and includes some contact details.
Any help you could offer is much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Anna

Just a shout-out to a fellow North American in London. Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!
I’m actually state-side right now (Colorado), just making our plans for November American Thanksgiving Dinner back at The Marksman pub. I’m wondering if you would consider mentioning our event on your site please with a link? The page is here:

Thanks so much for considering!
Just had a lovely chat with a woman who organizes casting for House Hunters International, a show about relocating abroad. They want to film in England soon, so they’re looking for Americans or Canadians who have already, or are currently, or soon to be, looking for a home to purchase.
Check it out:
If you are currently looking for or have recently bought a home abroad, we would like to put your story on TV!
Our hit show is looking for energetic individuals, couples and families to share their story about moving abroad and buying a home. Participating in our show is a lot of fun and a great way to document your exciting search for a home and new life abroad. Contributors should be fluent in English.
If you are interested in participating with our show or learning more, please send an email to househunterscasting@leopardfilms.com. Please include your contact information, the locations you are moving from and to, and a picture of your family and your property.
How cool is that? I watch the show, and must say, if I was buying a house in England, I’d put myself forward for sure. If you do, please let us know so we can be sure to tune in & watch your episode.
