Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

Indeed. I'm waiting to see how the election plays out - if the witch remains, then my hopes of moving back any time soon are pretty much toast.

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

I ended practising my profession when my son was born ... after 10 years of working in Canada, I was still only earning approx 65% of what I was earning when I left the UK in 2005.

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

Thanks Novo. I don't know how you lasted so many years in Canada, esp coming from the NE! I worked in Hexham many moons ago, such a lovely place.

Thank you, feelbritish. You understand.
I just logged in today as I haven't been on here for a while ... am just wondering why I bothered when I read some of the very unkind remarks attacking me...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

I did contribute many years of my life to the operation of the country (NHS, military). I hardly call a desire to go to my place of birth and upbringing a "sense of entitlement"!

I have no desire...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

I have lived elsewhere in Canada. Actually, if I had to live anywhere else in Canada, I would choose Winnipeg, to be nearer to family. Unfortunately, my husband's job can't transfer there.
I don't...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

What really does my head in is the feminising of boys' behaviour here ... it's generally frowned upon when wee boys run and around and basically act like wee boys, rather than sit quietly at tables...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

They're perfectly easy to spot in a pre-school environment, interfering in their kids' choice of toys, how they play with them, their interactions with other kids, forcing them to "share darling"...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

It's only in the past year that I have made friends with any British people in Canada and it's more been out of desperation as Canadians have tended to be so shallow and fair weather. So, no, I...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

I have one child and we live in the arsehole of nowhere - unless I make the effort on his behalf, he's stuck looking at me day in and day out, so not going isn't really an option, unfortunately. The...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

The fact that I was born and raised in Northern Ireland is why I'm worried about racism! Growing up, Ireland (Northern Ireland in particular) wasn't exactly a hotbed of multiculturalism, so those of...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

I hear what you're saying, but this feeling has been going on for so long now (at least 2 years) and is getting worse, that I know I need to move away from here for the sake of my mental health and...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

Thankfully, my one saving grace here is that I don't live in the burbs, but rurally, so I don't have to put up with it unless I tootle into the city. I'm a small community type of person, but...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

No, just Ottawa mentality. They're constantly checking house prices, even though there's no intention to buy or sell, talking about their latest shopping adventure and what they bought or what they...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

Thanks Barnstaple. I feel as though I'm caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment and it's just really tough. I had my son back in 2013 and as I watch him grow up, I realise that I don't...

Re: I'm a Brit, get me out of here!

Thanks. It's horrible being stuck somewhere like a rat in a trap and watching life tick by. Could quite happily go to sleep tonight and just never wake up.
