Is it only if they live in Britain, though? That at least makes a modicum of sense.
Yes, they have to be living here. But they don't have to be British citizens.
Except for the possibly not entirely ideal climate, many of us would be quite pleased to consider one or more of the British Isles for the location of Buffista Island.
The Isle of Wight is lovely during the summer. We could have a summer house town there.
My mom was born in Manchester, omnis. After my grandfather died when she was 2 years old, they came here.
Which is why I thought for years he was born there, too. Not so: he was born and raised in Lebanon (the family migrated from Riga, had the base at Rishon LeZion (one of the first settlements in Israel, and had a contract from a wine company to supervise the vineyards of it in Beirut), and accepted a job as a physician in the U.K. 6 years before his passing.

Rodney Carrington is really funny. Didn't expect to like his stuff, but he makes me laugh a lot.
My grandfather's in the hospital with really low sodium. He fell last night and couldn't get up, and they had to call 911. I talked to him this morning, and he sounds fine; he's just weak, and they don't know what the problem is. Please send that patented Buffista~ma Texas-ward.
Much ~ma P-C.
How is it in the British elections that the Liberal Democrats got about 60% of the votes of the Conservative party but has less than 1/5 of the seats, while the Labor party seems proportional with vote to seat ratio?
The British don't use proportional voting -- it's first-past-the-post, in each electoral district.

Birthday felicitations, GC!

Ah, you wouldn't see that kind of disproportional representation here in the USA.
