This is the greatest thing about this forum. Look how many new British people you can meet in your Canadian lives!

Re: British Expat Social groups in Winnipeg
Its amazing how a good support network can make your transition to a new country and culture, so much easier. Sharing experiences, stories and best practices, help you settle that much quicker, and makes you realise that you are not going insane, but that everyone is going through the same things, in the main.

Its bad enough to be associated with living in Winnipeg or Regina never mind having a social group of other Brits.

True but do you really want to meet a bunch of whining Brits who are always moaning about the price of cheese or that they cant get their favourite flavour of crisps or Robinsons squash and they dont do it like this in the UK

And here I was thinking Brits were only allegedly negative about their own country and discouraging anyone from giving it a try...now they do it about their adopted one too..

Re: British Expat Social groups in Winnipeg
Although it is often that us Brits complain about not being able to get proper Heinz beans and not being able to get good bacon, having been here plenty of years we actually have some great alternatives that could be shared!
I'd love to arrange a wee get together sometime for all those who are interested. On our end Sundays work best for us, whats the best for the rest of you? Would love to get something set up for August!

Brilliant! I will start planning something, and I'm thinking The Elephant and Castle is a family friendly pub!

Re: British Expat Social groups in Winnipeg
Anyone still interested in meeting up? We (me, hubby and 2yr old daughter) are planning on eating and having a few drinks afterwards in the Elephant & Castle this Sunday coming. Short notice but if anybody is going to be in the area and wants to join us let me know.
