Hi. We moved down to the edge of Brampton to be closer for hubbys job.
We've been in Ontario for two years having previously been in Nova Scotia for three years. We had lots of friends in NS but hardly know anybody here still.

So I was wondering if there were any Brits who fancied a catch up in Brampton.
I'm not working currently so any time is good!

Hopefully we'll see you at the Scotland Yard sometime!

I can heartfully recommend Heritage Fish & Chips at 410 & Queen (next to no frills).

Every day they have a $8 fish & chips lunch special which is absolutely unbeatable.

I feel green with treason when I ponder if it might be better than Duckworths.

I lived in Brampton from 1989-1991 and then Heritage Fish and Chips was here:

Since then the streets have been realigned. Heritage Fish and Chips was on the south side of the railway line. The place was full of Scottish and northern English middle age people who came to Brampton and Bramalea in the 60's/70's.

I was in Brampton on Tuesday morning. I don't think this is the case any longer.

(I will be going back to Brampton in a few weeks and would be up for meeting but it'd have to be for breakfast).

DandNHill

That would be nice. I've always wondered what you look like! Lol

Old and tired. Will let you know when there's an arrangement.

I'm just on the north eastern edge of Brampton. Bolton is just as close for grocery shopping.
I agree that Brits are in minority here. I've heard a couple of English accents...

Purple80 used to live in Bolton, we went to rather a good British pub there, name escapes me now.

I work near Brampton (Hurontario/CouurtneyPark to the south) and am always up for a beer or three....
I'm Scottish, but Worked in surrey for the 13 years before moving to Canada in 2011.

I moved to Brampton in the early 70s and like another poster said, most of the neighbors in my new subdivision were from the UK.
The 401 to Dixie Road was undivided 2 lanes each way, Dixie Road was one lane each way, the 410 didn't exist.
The Brampton Police Department was just a handful of men and to the east of it where the Bramalea City Center is was Chingacousy Township which was mostly farm fields.
There were hardly any bars in the town, the best one being in the old Police station which I think was at Queen and Highway 10 but I can't remember its name.
When I left 25 years ago, the development over the years had been fantastic.
The best bar then was called the Auld Triangle which still had a predominantly Brit clientele.
They used to serve what they called the Irish Breakfast all day.
It was bacon, eggs, sausage, black pudding, white pudding, soda bread, potato pancakes and a couple of other things that I can't remember.
Mouth watering.
I wonder if it's still there.

Think it would be the Toby Jug?

I'll forgive for being Scottish! 😜
I was born in Surrey actually and lived in Surrey and Sussex all my life other than a 13 year stint in France and Algeria!
