Even without your definition I would say yes, it is impossible except maybe in Victoria.

That was 45 years ago...give me a break I don't remember.

Last time I was back it was all made up in a bloody great urn with milk and sugar already added...disgusting it was.

I drink mine black no sugar, coffee the same way.

Black tea

PG Tips, lots of milk, 1 sugar please....

Fear not. You'll find an Olde Worlde Englishe Emporium for sure, run by an old lady with blue hair and small spectacles holding a mug with the Queen on it.

It'll be located somewhere abouts the Burberry/Union jack t-shirt/soccer shirt urban ghetto.

That would explain my aunts comment many years ago when I took my wife to be to meet them.

She said "My we are Canadianised aren't we" to my request for my tea to be black no sugar.

You should come back, the BNP needs you more than ever.

"NO TURNER PRIZE OR IMMIGRANTS ONLY HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS FURY."

Isn't Vancouver about 50/50 White/Oriental? My girlfriend's parents can't speak English and they've lived in Canada for 30 years.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what?

PS soooooooooooooooooooooooo what
