Re: Australia or Canada?
Canada isnt just geographically close to the US, culturally its virtually identical in large part (except for the fixation with hockey...but dont tell the canadians for gods sake, they would have a fit)
Thankfully, most of the US is not really much like its depicted on TV.

I am a very down to earth person who has no desire to feel special. What I mean is that I would just feel like Im living back in Britain!!

Re: Australia or Canada?
did i ever say bears don't attack people? in fact i think i said something along the lines of thats exactly what they do. i don't trek through the woods, so it does not bother me. they don't come into my back yard as i live in the city, so it does not bother me. i did not move to canada to live in or very near to the mountains where this would effect my life so it does not bother me. if any of these were a consideration of the o/p then fair enough, and of course they are dangerous.
the point is this, if the o/p is moving to the coast, it will be hot, and i don't care what anyone is posting about snow as quite frankly that is bollox. once at the coast no doubt they will go in the water, so all the nasty things lurking there, may, may, effect you. also creepy crawlies in and around your home, and snakes, may effect you, as they are around your home no matter where you are it appears.
so, for an appraisal of daily life these are factors to consider, does not mean anything if you are not bothered, but they are factors nontheless.

Fair enough. It's not a worry you'll have in Canada anyway - I don't know any areas where brits go uniquely, although I could be wrong and there is a 'little england' in Toronto or something.

Re: Australia or Canada?
Most people in OZ including me have never seen a snake in their property, but l guess there are a few spiders around , but considering no one has died from a spider bite in OZ in 30 years its not something anyone worries about. More people die from bee and wasp stings in the UK then snake and spider bites in OZ

The situation is even worse if the arguer admits it's a rumor.

Re: Australia or Canada?
As I am from Britain I can confirm that an average of 6 people a year die in the UK from Wasp stings!! Mainly due to the fact that 3 in 100 people have an allergic reaction to wasp stings.
