Anyone from Scotland? Where's everyone from?

[catcoo]

I'm from Scotland and wondered if anyone else on here was too.
So, where is everyone from? So far, to me, it looks like a good variety of places!

Hi Cat
Welcome to this great forum. I'm from the UK and although I only joined a few months ago I've been collecting for about 3 years now so if you decide you want to add to your collection I do have an awful lot of spares.

I'm from Scotland too!

United States, more specifically the Midwest! I loved meeting people from other countries through this forum, people I might not get to meet otherwise 🙂

It's very cool to have such an international forum! I too hail from the USA (east coast/New Jersey, specifically...and I very much wanna travel all around Europe.  

This was the collection I started with when I joined this site nearly 3 years ago, and now? Well, it's surely grown!

Hi Suzanne, I need to put a wanted list up but I was pleasantly surprised at how many I already have. We collected mostly from cereal packets when I was a child and then I got a lot more off eBay.

90skitty, no way!! A fellow Scot! How much snow have you got? We only got a light dusting more last night so it's off to work for me. Boo

Jenna, I love that in my pocket was so widely loved! All the searching I've done over the years, I wished for a website like yours. It's great to be able to talk to other avid in my pocket fans now too!

Catcoo, I felt the same way! That’s why I made the site and forum! I’m so glad other people have found them useful 😊

Yes! Before this site I used vintage.talviuni.com, which was a miracle at the time but not as complete and thorough as yours now is.

catcoo - we got no more snow last night, so things were all back to normal today. However, I stay not far from a dry ski slope centre and they got enough snow that the slope was covered in it today still. So I was able to ski on real snow for a change! Without having to go to the mountains anyway lol. I'm hoping for more snow tonight!

Our snow is nearly gone... I'm not sure if it is good or not, the weather is just strange I'm from germany.

[Manouk]

I am an European as well. A Dutchie. The Netherlands.

Cool. My surname gives away my German ancestry (while the hair hints toward the Irish. x3) Wish I'd taken more than a semester of the language in college.

And funny, I *just* watched a few Dutch movies (because I've become a big fan of Carice van Houten thanks to Game of Thrones!)

Plus today I showed a friend from Hungary my collection, and we wound up discussing horses, and she was describing the strict Dutch control over the breeding of Friesians (one of my faves)...it was interesting.

It's great that we've all come here to share our stories and information from so many different countries and also been able to help each other with our collections. It's surprising when you look at Piddy's packaging how many items were only issued in certain countries. Animal Hospital mostly in the UK and Secret Heart in the US/Canada. I know without this forum I would never have got the Secret Heart puppies.

True. I'm lucky that I was able to get all the Secret Heart (and Love 'n' Sparkle) pups as a kid, since many of them are particular favorites. AND I was able to get a trio of Animal Hospital guys (Buddy/Mary/Jeremy), so that was great. ^u^

[Manouk]

Ah nice you've seen some dutch movies. Wasn't it strange to hear my language?
And off course I know "de Fries"
