When s/he is challenged and proved wrong, s/he 'flounces'. S/he wasn't looking for a support group, trust me, s/he was looking to be antagonistic and cause trouble.

Are you sure abou that? Isn't it in the Senior's Charter along with poking people with your walking stick and speeding on your mobility scooter?
I do not need a mobility scooter at this point in time. Today, I went for a walk , perhaps short of my usual 5km, but yes, I am getting older In fact, people here are very polite and very helpful |

Bats, my good friend, how can you say that? I am old as you well know. Since I have had plantar fasciitis I have used a cane, because the sidewalks in the area where I live are very uneven and the cane helps with balance. However , I have never poked anyone nor have I seen anyone do so

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people
Here's a difference between Canadians and British people: British people, who don't have French as an official language, can pronounce French words better than Canadians.
I heard presenters on the radio this morning talking about some school called St. Francis Xavier... prounounced Exx-ay-vee-ur. |

In Regina the TV news hosts can't even pronounce the English words; it's the spell-check generation and almost painfull to watch. Some of our small towns have quirky pronunciations and if the presenter moved here from out of province they don't stand a chance.

I learned it in France, decades ago. I have not lost the accent. My quebecoise missus adores it. A while back we were watching Kathleen Wynne debating in TV, in French. I asked my missus if I sounded like that. "I'd ban you from speaking French if you did". <I'm fairly sure I've posted this before. My memory is going :(> |
