Re: Dawson Creek
Now how many of you thinking of going to a small town really use all those wonderful big city amenties weekly - monthly not often you'll not miss them then.
Life From one of the stats sites These are all the places in the uk in 2001 with about the same population as Dawson Creek Biggest difference is probably the distance to the next CITY - Abercarn/Newbridge 10,007 Eastfield 10,029 Brierfield 10,047 Cinderford 10,069 Shildon 10,075 Ross-on-Wye 10,085 Ystradgynlais/Ystalyfera 10,106 Chigwell 10,128 Annfield Plain 10,130 Coleford (Forest of Dean) 10,145 Isle of Walney 10,159 Chertsey 10,323 Newtown 10,358 Kirkham 10,372 Featherstone 10,382 Wells 10,406 Catshill 10,407 Market Drayton 10,407 Shirebrook 10,412 Prudhoe 10,437 Leominster 10,440 Dawlish 10,443 Kingsteignton 10,503 Adwick le Street 10,507 Ilfracombe 10,508 Henley-on-Thames 10,513 Pelsall 10,524 Ferryhill 10,554 Wetherby 10,562 Helston 10,578 Wellington 10,599 Beighton 10,676 Hexham 10,682 Welwyn/Codicote 10,700 Ouston/Pelton 10,739 Cheadle 10,797 Chepstow 10,821 Barnoldswick 10,859 Llantrisant/Pontyclun 10,880 Thame 10,886 Sandy 10,887 Wootton Bassett 10,936 |

R. Me too. :rofl: I have to go up there quite often, unfortunately. FSJ is riddled with drugs. It may well have been OK in seventies, but is not now. Even die hard BC fans will confess that they would not move up there from Southern BC if their lives depended on it. Comparing it to towns with similar populations in the UK is pointless. There is NOTHING up there - NOTHING. At least you can quickly drive to a big city from a small town in the UK.....:confused: |

Not everyone likes to live in a big city with as much crime and drugs as you could shake a stick at - if you know where to look - just to go to theg latest theatre or see the latest frock in the dress shop. The point of comparing them to small towns in the uk is there is nothing in them either NOTHING - but people still live there. I did say the difference is the distance to a big City. YOU GO THERE. Friends that live in Dawson Creek say you can get most everything in Town and what you can't you normally don't need or can get when you fancy a long weekend trip some where. It's a life style choice. Any bets if you live in a bigger town the Dawson Creek you'll find more drugs there than in Dawson Creek. How the hell do farmers in the middle of nowhere live? I bet a few miilion Southern Bcer's wouldn't live on a farm. |

A couple years of exposure to the general f@ckwittedness, retardation, ineptitude, and small mindedness of "Smallville BC" and most people of average intelligence would go nuts crazy. The concept of rural romance and quaintness of small town life as espoused by people is generally made by those that do not, or have not, lived in such backward holes. R. |

Your missing the point because you don't like it doesn't mean others won't like it.

There are over 11,500 people living Dawson Creek and over 18,000 living Fort St.John there must be something up there that they like and it can't be drugs for all of them. |

No - the point is that people do not "live there" - they merely "exist/subsist".

How many people do you think I know from or who have lived up north in the Peace ? 12, 15 maybe ? They speak of vile devils with three thumbs, with hairy palms, stumbling around muttering to themselves. The locals, I believe.
R. Get over yourself. |

I think 12-15 is statistically sound :confused: R. Have you ever been there? I have and I believe that trumps your 12-15 statistically sound. I should have stayed out of this thread as I said earlier today, I don't need this kind of aggravation at this point in my life. I will no longer comment on this topic. |
