Serious Anglophiles make Shustoke and The Plough home. |
2015-09-12 |
[The Mail] An American couple are so dedicated to their favourite British pub that they have decided to up-sticks and move more than 4,000 miles to make it their local in Warwickshire. Matt and Delores Lawrence, from Bloomington, Indiana, used to make an annual 8,700 mile round trip for a pint at The Plough in Shustoke, near Nuneaton. Since discovering their favourite tavern, they have regularly travelled back to Warwickshire, costing them a whopping £48,000 since their first trip in 2011. But now the couple have taken it one step further - and have decided to leave their life in America behind to move across the pond with their teenage son Achilles, 19. Delores has quit her job as a psychiatric nurse while Matt is transferring to a British branch of his firm, loss adjuster Liberty Mutual. Their son Achilles has applied to study at Coventry University. |

#1 My brother lives in Bloomington, Ind. A university town infested with liberals. Probably more to this than meets the eye. but then again calling your child, Achilles? |
