Managed to bang a Canadian girl who was also on business staying at our hotel. Loved my accent and everything. Great time.
She said to me "have you ever been to America before?" I said "no, but i've been in a few states"
British humor, you can't beat it.
Must be something about the Chicago air because i also had a good time there!!
Your'e not Canadian are you???? :-)
When British Midland introduced their Manchester-Chicago route early in 2001 I won two return tickets in a competition. I made plans to use them that December. A lot of time was spent researching and excitement levels grew as the time neared. My shopaholic missus had her heart set on the 'Magnificent Mile' for Christmas shopping. The week before our departure date a family crisis prevented us from going. Unfortunately the flights had to be used before the end of the year and BM wouldn't extend the deadline. I was absolutely gutted. The Manchester-Chicago service ceased this January but one day I really do want to get there.
