Did try that. "Thursdays" the man said, "fresh fish on Thursdays, on the other days not so much". Then we discovered the fish warehouse and the problem went away.

Re: HELP ON MOVING TO TORONTO
Can somebody please give me some advice,
My Family and i are relocating to Toronto from the uk in october. We wish to buy some land, or house with land outside of the area but have no idea where would be the cheapest place to do this as we dont wish to live in the city. We do not mind travelling up to 2 hours each way to and from work to make our dreams come true. Any advice would be really appreciated, We have decided to rent for a while so if You have any idea of areas for cheap renting would be a great help to us.
I hope i have posted this right as it is the first time i have ever used a forum, but im at my wits end at where to begin so any advice would be wonderful!!!
many thanks
kate

Re: HELP ON MOVING TO TORONTO
Why do Novocastrian and dBd 33 always turn a genuine enquiry from a newbie or whoever in to a slanging match as to who has the most wit

I'm not sure how you think that posting something like that is contributing in any way, but singling members out to attack them is not helpful imo. If you have an issue, use the report button please - that is what it's there for after all.

Both Novo and DBD are often very helpful (and have been on this thread), and a bit of thread drift is only to be expected on a public forum I'm afraid.

It's the exclamation mark at the left of each post. If you click it you can inform us of any problem posts. We find it very useful as obviously there's only so many threads we can read, so forum members are often our 'eyes and ears' so to speak.
If you look in the FAQ and the thread above for Newcomers to the Forum, it'll give you info about forum features such as this.

Re: HELP ON MOVING TO TORONTO
I apologise if I offended anyone it was not my intension, It just appeared to me that a thread starts good and then drifts off. I appreciate the good that Novo and dBd 33 do in the forum and it is very much welcome.I was only stating what I think and I must be entitled to that.
All the best Ron.

You are more than welcome to express your opinion, but if you wish to make a genuine complaint about your fellow forum members please do so using the report button rather than attacking them on somebody else's thread. Remember that all threads drift, it's perfectly normal.
Now let's get this thread back on track shall we? Please take any further comments to PM.
Thanks.

Re: HELP ON MOVING TO TORONTO
There are indeed some beautiful properties in Barrie (although I would not advise leaving one's doors unlocked, anywhere, but that's just me!). What I would caution is, the commute time depends in part on where one is measuring it from and to; sometimes the commute is measured "door to door" (from the door of my home to the door of my office building) and sometimes it is measured "transit time only" (e.g. the time the train leaves the station closest to my home, to the time the train arrives at the station closest to my office). So, for the original poster, commuting will depend in part on where his/her work is located.

Re: HELP ON MOVING TO TORONTO
But in general, when a new member starts a thread with an extremely general query (or, as in this case, rather improbable "dreams") and then disappears, the temptation to chat a bit with whoever is reading it too is great.
Stick around and you'll soon learn to see the signal embedded in the noise.
