Bramley please don't stop posting, you had a valid point and one i have noticed from the few Canadian people posted over here in the UK at the moment that i have a lot of contact with,
I do think the posters were joking with you at least thats how i saw it, maybe a little sensative at the moment if there are problems settling ?

Hope you can meet some nice Canadians ( what about volunteering ) let us know how you get on, Good luck
sorry please don't insult canadians by insinuating they are like the expats on this forum, at least the canadians are who they are, I don't know who these people are, they are not canadians and they are certainly not British, so what are they, mongrel comes to mind???

Swiss Chalet delivery however is bizarre. The food is always cold and the volume of packaging horrendous.
you my not like it, but I agree with you, brought my kids there when I was working late in the hotel, and too tired to cook, but knew they got potatoes, gravy and meat, so in my immature mind thought I was being a good mother and they were getting a better fast food altenative, still think that

Can you explain a little further? I am both British and Canadian, why am I "certainly not British"?

If you don't know who they are, how do you know they are not Canadian or British? Mongrel is of mixed race, so I guess you have not idea there either
