Some very good point made here! My attitude is that I just happen to be moving to a different lump of rock - same old troubles, just a different location!


The only Canadian dreams I have are about John Paul Tremblay in a hot tub full of rum and coke, but I guess that's some whole other thing....

This guy ?

Oddly enough.... no.

That did seem an improbable fantasy, but it was what google made of "Jean Paul Tremblay".

I hear ya... mmmmm, to be an ice cube in a rum and coke.

I lurve rum and coke with plenty of ice Also lurve watching TPB's Fave episode is Conky when he shot Conky's head off Amazing what a few wraps does to your brain. You start arguing with puppets.

Must go and refill my glass with some more crisp white wine

I can only apologise for bringing the tone of this thread down.

Must go, hot tub's nearly full.

Have fun and mind the 'bubbles'

Dammit... you've spoilt my brain thinking thoughts now!!!

I don't know about you but I'm still thinking about hot tubbing with Julian

You know that everything you have mentioned above is available to you in parts of the UK too.

Perhaps. Then you must make certain that you find the right place because there are "wrong" areas in Canada too!
Take a peek at Canadian politics - honestly Canada's politics are not much better and in my opinion some things are far worse here.

Great attitude! Just don't expect more than she can offer you! Best of luck.

Thank you everyone who commented on my post - you know me; I just say it as I see it. Canada is being good to us - Canadians are being good to us - and I hope that we are giving a little something back in return.

But you may still have to move away from friends and family. Not as far but they may not be as handy.

It's a personal preference. What may be "wrong" for you could be "right" for someone else.

At least without the baggage of the Royals and the class system.

I have had the Royals as we are proud of the Queen etc full on and the class system is alive and kicking hard - just my opinion.

Try a Rotary meeting...! I am not a Rotary BTW just helping out.

I have to agree. Where I live they adore the Queen and there most certainly is a class system; it might be subtley different from the UK, but it is still here.

Sorry Flashman, I perhaps didn't write my comments clearly; of course I mean't what is the right place to live, for the individual; in answer to the poster who said that he felt he was living in the wrong area in the UK.
