Much appreciated.

Nothing fussy about our needs for shopping

Bloody better not be like the UK anyway.

Dan

Not much like Bluewater or whatever it's called. Populated by suburban mall rats armed with daddy's credit card, but not armies of chavs. Imagine elevator music, Starbucks, leather sofa's to relax in. Imagine being able to park up and walk straight in, with little hassle.

Xmas excepted, of course.

Where did you live in the UK?

Dan

In a hole in the ground (serious)

PM later.

... its not the Bluewater I know - full of chav's and hoodies (I did think they were banned though) We shall have the delights with visiting the place once again this Christmas.

Nothing wrong with Kelowna whereas the only good thing about Kamalops is that it has a good road you can drive in one end and out the other as quickly as possible!

Somewhat harsh.

R.

...been taking lessons!

Surely that is the same as Kelowna - the wonderful Highway 97...

It's nice to see so many people are heading to the kamloops region of Bc, i am hoping to be in kamloops in dec ish '09. I have visited kamloops a number of times though and it's ok, my other half, who has lived there for ages, says kelowna was originally built as a retirement settlement, and kamloops has a younger feel having visited both. And that Kamloops has more millionaires that Van.
Kamloops has enough day to day shops for anyone, and who would object to a weekend away in the city!?!?

The shopping is absolutely fine in Kelowna - and I am a self certified expert after living in Dubai for the last 13 years which is ALL about Shopping and Mall mania . Nice choice of places to buy your winter gear, summer stuff and everything in between. No high end designers in town, but one doesn't seem to get many opportunities to wear ones Jimmy Choos or Gucci here, which is IMO a slight negative about the place
CT

yes, i'd agree with the jimmy choos part! The area is more about utility/comfort than designer. Not to say anyone goes around looking like crap at all, but flat shoes and "pants" seem more of the norm. And i suppose in uk shopping is the same only BC is bigger scale, you done find amazing designer shops in every town, you to have to travel for a "proper" shopping session so to speak, the travel in BC just happens to be greater!!

Ah it's a positive for me. I've worn my 2002 Prada's once in three years. My North Face/Columbia/Oakley shoes/boots however, are daily wear in fall/winter. Summer, it's all about the sandals.

For sure, it's the outdoor lifestyle. Dress down; I wouldn't dress up if you paid me to.

Me and my bro's do. We all look like crap. Even the two multimillionaires I know look like Bubba Dingle. Hell, they're scruffier than me and trust me, that takes some doing. It's all about not giving a crap. Screw the man, we is redneck and proud.

From one Dan to another Dan....don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia.

Kamloops is full until 2012, sorry about that.

We did visit both areas 2 weeks ago, and I must say we did prefer Kamloops over Kelowna, Kelowna just to busy to much people living to close and then that bridge, try crossing this during rush hours. Kamloops is more spacious to our opinion. Both towns have all ya need for everyday living.

we will make the final move to Kamloops , when our house will be sold Pffffffff

Hi Dan

What do you mean that it is full????

Is there much of a business centre there, as i work in Account Management and Sales.

What do you think the average wages would be in Kamloops.

Kind regards

Dan
