My only reason to go there is because that's where my girlfriend lives (and studies...PhD in molecular genetics at the University of Leicester
)
I was at Sam's Club recently and began chatting with the manager because I recognized his Brit accent. Guess where he was from?
You're not going to believe this...Leicester!!
