The Brits are leaving my hometown, after 67 years. Have been used to see their flags, Jeeps, trucks and APCs in several parts of the city since my childhood (my family comes from here). Some random meetings with those living in soldier houses up the road I live in, always have gone very relaxed.

When I came here myself twelve years ago, some time later I was invited to a TV barbecue party in their garden during the first football tournament after I moved here. Some very grounded, friendly guys I met on that day, it was a good time. One just has to get used to this queer sense of humour of theirs

. Since I am quite black-humoured myslf, we matched well.

Not close enough ties to say I'm sad over the Brits leaving - but it won'T be the same without the Union Jack flying at soccer evenings anymore.

Thanks, and good luck in the places you are leaving for now.
