NEXT WEEK.....Anyone want to meet in maple leaf pub, covent garden for some experienced knowledge? i emigrated 2002

Hows that chinook thats blowing in ?

ahhh but wait 5 mins... a few days later it was +3.... thats a 52 dg difference in 3 days!!!

Lovely chinook blowing in right now lol

Wow guys, you cant wait to jump....... im there Feb 2 - 7.... my bad!!

5 days in the pub, thats quite the bender. I'm not sure how much sensible advice anyone can expect after the first hour or two...

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

And with all the wonderful pubs in London why would pick a tacky 'Canadian themed' bar and drink Canadian 'beer'?

Get theyself up to Yorkshire Lass and I'll make you a brew....

Shame - I would liked to have met for a drink and to pick your brains but I am too far away!

Because she's (allegedly) touting for business from naive wannabe ex-Pats.

London - England ...... ah Jesus all this time I thought London was in Wales.

Cynic

I always laugh when I see Paris, France captioned, more so when the Eiffel Tower indicates it's not Paris, Texas

But in this case, given there's a London in Canada, I think the distinction was a fair one.

Silly Mod

There is a London in Ontario ya know.

Bristol, England, UK, World, Universe, was right, the distinction was a fair one

I don't. If some fool asks me to clarify "London", I glare and say "London, London". If you mean the place formerly known as Berlin ON then you should say London ON.

Bollox

So if the thread header just said

Im in London

You would auto think she was in London England, being that this is on a Canada forum that is so .

Of course if someone says they're in London you think they're in England and not in London ON, even if they're a cradle. Similarly, if someone says they're in Paris one thinks of France, not Paris ON. You'd have to be inbred to the point of terminal parochialism to think first of little towns in Canada with borrowed names. The proper form is to refer to the place just by its name and the to qualify the name of the derivative, so Athens ON, but not Athens Greece.
