An englishman in......

I was browsing the Google search engine to see if I rate highly on the SEO and I found some interesting and related blogs (I'm not high by the way...yet!). I think the song about an Englishman in New York by Sting has influenced many Brits subconsciously because there are a multitude of blogs with this title. For me it was a natural title which did not require any thought and I expect for the others also but I think we should all link up to start a travel series that will overtake the lonely planet guides! If any of you 'An Englishman in.......' are reading this contact me and tell me what you think.



Here are links to some of those sights.

There are more but I think you get the picture. I imagine a scenario like that in Bourne Identity films where we have an official 'Englishman' for every country! But instead of being assassinating people for the Americans we just tell everyone where the great places to get pissed are around the world.

Actually it would be fun to set up an "Englishman in..." blogroll that we could all add to our sites!

I like that idea but how do you go about it?

Are all these blogs members of the expat blog community? If they don't, do not hesitate to invite themp :)

you'll like this:

google "An Englishman Needs" and then list the first 20 things that google produces.

If you want to see an example, visit the post I did on Suzanne needs.

Best,

Thanks for the comment and idea Suzanne, I liked it and your post a lot but there is a song or something called 'An Englishman needs time' and it takes up most of the first 20 google results. Do I skip them and take the first 20 different results?

Hi There,

An Englishman in Dubai here. Thank you for the link and by the looks of it you are having a wonderful time in Poland. A country I think which is really amazing in my couple of trips.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Aaron

Hey *waves*

I didn't give much thought to a name for my litle corner of the web (i'm not that inventive)

I have to say though, that often i get a) referrals from people googling the book by the same name and b) people commenting "are you THE englishman in Paris'

Thank you google !

I agree with Chris H, perhaps we could a thing similar to radio 4's 'from our own correspondant'

Whaddya think ?
