I think, largely, yes. My mum (a very slight 5'1") pushed my dad around in his chair for the last few months of his life, and he walked (very slowly) with a frame for a while before that. She is full of lovely stories of people going significantly out of their way to help her, from pushing him up the steep hill outside the Royal Hampshire County hospital in Winchester, to stopping traffic to help them across a road, to small gestures like holding open a door or stepping aside from a dropped kerb at a zebra crossing.

Fact is there are signficant percentages of people in Canada who are rude, bullying, offensive, unfunny etc etc when compared to the average in the UK. That you don't want to accept that changes nothing. And your comment of it must be me that is at fault just shows you live in a ****ing bubble. |

Hahaha yep it must definitely be the Canadians at fault or maybe you're just proving the point that rude boring people can come from anywhere...
I have met both Canadian and English here who equally needed a slap up side of the head, Doesn't matter where your from, Canada has it's fair share but so does the UK and some moved here. |

I never met a Canadian I’d want physically assault. One just feels a bit sorry for them. But those British lower middle class, middle-aged aspirational wankers, the ones who used to wear leather trimmed sweaters and who were probably members of the local golf club or played squash and who used to pontificate loudly down the pub about the superiority of real ale and have shrew-like wives named Carol or Linda. Like that type of bloke who was Inspector Frost’s boss, they really needed a sharp kick in the goolies.

Plus, I don't fly the flag for british beers at pubs here..far too long on a ship and the craft brews in my part of the world tick the boxes. With your withering, and sometimes spot on, musings here you must be a joy amongst the unwashed mouth breathing cradles you sometimes have to interact with:thumbsup:..or is it just an act and you're really a Don Cherry flag waving zealot:thumbsup: |

Hey I resent that. I like real ale (lager is for middle aged aspirational wankers) but don't wear leather trimmed sweater and have a shrew of a wife (or a wife called Carol or Linda). Where would you like to pidgeon hole me.:confused:

I'm a mouth breather because my nose has been broken over and over and over since 1967. That's from speaking my mind (and poor judgement and slow reflexes and a taste for drink).

I don't think a Canadian has ever tried to offend me. The backbone just isn't there. Walk into a pub in suburban Manchester or Newcastle on the other hand..... |
