Yes I've been here 36 years. So, what? What's the point of this poll? What remarkable conclusions are you going to come to? | | |

Like others, I have actually spent more of my life living outside my home country, the UK. In Spain and a few years in Germany. Catalonia in the future? Who knows?

I live on the internet, but I was born before it. So, no? I do think the results of this poll are interesting - 35% migratory birds? That's certainly way above the figure for non-translators. | | |

I almost certainly would not have become a translator if I had remained in Scotland. | | |
I was in fact born in India to English parents, and I have now lived more than half my life in Denmark. But now I go back to the UK several times a year and stay for two or three weeks, so I reckon I keep in touch. | | |

I moved to Canada from Germany when I was 5 years old. I attended kindergarten a few months later knowing how to count to 10 in English, and knew the word "finger", which happens to be the same in German, though pronounced a bit differently. There was a strangely named hero on television called Soup Man (Suppemann) which is how I heard "Superman" with my still-German ears.

I have lived in the country where I was born for a long time. But I am happy to move to another one once I get bored of the place | | |
