Actually, from you, I’m way more than across the pond, I’m just about as far I think as I can get from your position. I’m located in the North East United states, we call the region New England where the Europeans originally settled, the most recent time we won’t discuss the vikings or druids or anyone else who made it over first but history doesn’t record because it doesn’t help the case.:) So when I say across the pond it’s an expression used a lot between Great Britain and the United States to refer to the ocean between us.
