I agree BUT you can still be taken into a little room and strip searched.

It's possible that still happened, we left before they did - the reason they were in there was they'd spent all night in Caesar's Windsor (hence being hammered) and the border guard probably didn't believe they were declaring their winnings....

Is there an extra cost for that?

For you? yes, for Mrs Souv? I think we could do it on the house.

crossing the border dont start me..i broke a finger and had it straped to next finger ,unfortunately i needed to renew my 194 visa went to give fingerprints, the border officer went nuts when i couldnt get my finger flat on machine so i had to cut strapping and try to get my finger flat the result was she leaned over and pressed my finger flat!!.
I now have a finger that looks like im pointing round the corner.
when i filled the paper work in she told me to do it properly, my mistake was when filling in my name/address i started 1 box in every line.
she informed me i had a bad attitude ...suprised me as i said yes/no officer to every question asked and never even argued.

Do you have some sort of death wish?

No, but I used to think Charles Bronson was a reasonable Character actor.

Is that some feeble attempt to get me post a picture of Souvette in a bikini?

The thought had never previously crossed my mind.......................

However, if you could see your way to like well you know erm

Please

I am slightly tempted, if only to shut up folk that think I'm always talking-up my missus. I won't, though.

For some odd reason Souv I have no doubt she is indeed, to put it in the vernacular, 'a fit piece of totty'

Why do think I chucked in my career and financial security and moved to Canada at the drop of a hat?

i need to activate our visa,s ....we were going to go shopping but things have changed..so we were going too go across tell them we are going shopping and turn and go back through canada immigration..i have read that if you tell them at the US border u are activating your visa`s they can refuse you entry..which i dont agree with as not everyone can afford to go shopping..can anyone shed any light on this..as i know on the green visa`s it askes where u are going and for what purpose..it all seems a little OTT..to do one little thing that a lot of people have to do..i mean they can watch u go back through to the canadian side

I wouldn't tell them unless directly asked, just say you're going shopping, I wouldn't volunteer the fact that you'll be landing on your return, none of their business....

Why not just go over, drive 2 miles south, turn around and come back. I know you can't afford to go shopping but surely you can afford an extra 4 miles of gas
