:shucks: Well, I still enjoy your posts.

A side question, if you don't mind. I used to know an English lady at work years ago. Made great short bread cookies at Christmas. She told me that her husband was involved in the designing of the muffin splitter for Thomas' English Muffins.
According to her, he was in demand here for his engineering skills, and involved in a high level US project. I forget exactly what. At any rate, the projecr required him to be a US citizen. They both had dual citizenship in the US and UK. I'm curious if that's available to everyone, and wondering whether or not you have it in Scotland.
 
Odd thing about dual citizenships for American citizens. I was researching that the other day and the regulations are rather...to say the least...vague. My daughter was born in Turkey and if she had been a boy, she would have had dual Turkish and American citizenship, at least on the part of the Turks; had she (or theoretically HE) stepped foot on Turkish soil at any time in his life, he would have been required to serve in the Turkish military. The US wouldn't have recognized the dual citizenship in any case. As a girl, however, she didn't have Turkish citizenship.

Mideast attitude. Boy = Soldier. Girl = Worthless. Hard to understand. Leads to much unhappiness.

I have dual US/UK. I became eligible as a spouse after I'd lived here 3 years. They've now changed that to 5.

It depends on the country whether it's allowed. I'm sure I couldn't be dual with a country like Iran for example.
