Good advice. I spend some time on that forum even now.

It is noticeable, however, that in all the reasons given for wanting to return to the UK, one rarely, if at all, sees anyone mentioning yob culture/crime/anti-social behaviour etc in the country to which they moved as a factor influencing their decision.

I'll leave it open to interpretation dbd33. But suffice to say, you have scrutinised my post and unsurprisingly, you have surfaced. Does it resonate a little?

It sure is! I see the odd beer can here, but it's mostly discarded Tim Hortons cups or coke cans. If there were as many as in dbd's area, I'd be out there very day to make some extra cash! I walk 5 - 7 km a day in my area, and happily don't see too many beer cans.

Oh, that's a relief. I thought you were talking about me. :blink:

It made perfect sense to you and we all know it; hence your response and no one else's: Is that clarification enough for you?

No, of course not. You are a Gaurdian reader...

And a gentle soul, with heart... :wub:

Actually, no. I see no connection between intellectual prowess and posting here. Are you saying that certain posters come here in order to get their brains adled?

Not that. It's just that I know him to be a truly wonderful soul with nothing but purity and love in his heart. He can talk to small furry animals and they eat from his hand. Noting that he is currently under flood conditions, I expect he's practicing his water walking this afternoon.
