Talking of mutts, I've mostly lived in England but was born in Wales. My parents were both from Trieste, Italy, but my father was half Italian, half new Zealander. The New Zealander part was actually mostly Italian, with a large part Austrian, part French and with a bit of Irish in there somewhere.This is complicated. I was born in Buenos Aires. My dad was born in Wilno, then Poland now Vilnius, Lithuania. The family name is Lithuanian but he called himself a Pole. Mom was born in BA too. Both her parents were English. She lives in Salamander Bay, Australia. I lived in Philadelphia, New Jersey and now the Santa Monica Mountains in Southern California.
Thus, I am a true mutt.
I've always described myself as a product of the European Community.
Not surprisingly, I voted we stayed in!
