Re: Moving back to UK
Agreed, would love to hear from others what they think when someones says they live on the "East Coast" of Canada how they would perceive it. Maybe Montreal or the Maritimes? or maybe anything east of Manitoba?

I think most of the people on the East Coast, would have the sense to realise what I was saying, If they read my older posts, I came to Toronto in 1976-1984 and lived all that time in Onatrio, along with my relatives and friends, all in the Scarborough to coburg area, I loved it and at that time had great neighbours and friends. Since returning I have found were we live very unfriendly, thats the way I find it, I made that clear before when I said I thought we were very unlucky. Why do you try and make such a big issue out of this? I take it you are from scotland originally? When you go back do you find it different and changed? Not as friendly as when you left? I really find this very childish

Re: Moving back to UK
Talking about houses with pools brought back some memories, we bought our first house I think it was 1979-1980, we paid $53,000 for a semi backspilt with inground pool, 4 bedrooms, finished rec room with bar and fireplace, in a little country town called "Oshawa"(i remembr my friends saying how far away it was from Toronto too far for them!!!). It was classed as the country then, and very much full of young families, first time buyers. I remember big wheels were a big thing then, my son left his on the front garden overnight and toys left on the lawn, and they were still there when we got up in the morning. many a time we went to bed and forgot to lock the doors. It was a lovely neighbourhood and FRIENDLY as well
