We weren't posh enough to have cars. Usually an alley way near the pub for a quick knee trembler sufficed as a lover's lane.

It is small. You can do a pub crawl from one edge of the city to the other in an evening. You would end completely blattered because there are a hell of a lot of pubs, but it is not far to walk.
You can also forget those memories of a quiet pint in a pub garden in the countryside. In Durham people take their drinking seriously. If you don't drink, get drunk, have a good fight then throw up all over the pavement it is hardly worth the bother of going out.

I'm feeling quite tempted again.

Understand that I'm neither for or against you moving back to the UK as it were , it's just better to understand the practicalities before you deide. I believe ( and am willing to be corrected ) that it s considered fairly problematic to go through the citizenship procedurecwhile living outside Canada

they don't need to move to the UK for Europe to become a whole new world for them, that was awarded to them at birth.....but if Europe was their Lobster then why are 100's of thousand of Europeans flooding into the UK oh yes for the health care...... don't get me wrong.....I miss the UK more than any other English person I have spoken too, I go back every year and have quality catch up with the people I miss dreadfully, but love coming back to Canada for 100's of reason's but wont go listing them all...cos I am sure everyone had their lists of pro's and con's!!!

Re: MOVING BACK TO DURHAM ENGLAND -PROS/CONS ?
I actually contemplated a move to Durham when I was living in Vancouver. Nice place, bit small. Long way from London and a bit close to Newcastle for my taste. Hence I ended up in Norwich.....
I do think living in a city in the UK with a decent sized uni makes a difference. Norwich without UEA would be pretty grim in lots of ways.
Schools are fine in UK. Schools are fine in Canada. I've been in a lot in both places. Really not that different.
