Re: Opportunities in High Tea
I also no longer drink in the places to be. I'd typically spend over 100 pounds on a Saturday night in London and I couldn't consider doing that here.
These days I shop at Winners, and won't darken the door of Holts. Ah plus ca change or whatever
I also used to go to NY shopping. Can't take off and do that here either... 
Oh heck why am I still here....My only concession to a lifestyle of profligate spending is spending four times the amount that an identical bra would cost in the UK. And that's with a UK/CAD conversion in there too...

Re: Opportunities in High Tea
I wouldn't even agree that that works for me. I find living here on slightly less than my UK equivalent salary, my standard of living is probably lower. I say probably cos I own a house here and not a flat, but I definately don't wear designer clothes anymore, and I can't afford four weeks in South East Asia like I used to. Come to think of it I can't afford four weeks anywhere.

Re: Opportunities in High Tea
I have been to NS on vacation only, at least until i get visa, and have always halved everything, the way tourists do....
So if i was earning £20,000 gbp per annum would this then be translated into $20,000 canadian dollers per annum?
Not sure if i am understanding this?

Hi Destinationnovascotia
What do you mean by "Its Rubbish". Can you explain please. Am i still supposed to halve everything as i first thought!! i.e £20,000 GBP being approximately $10,000 C/dollers etc.
I would be grateful for your take on this, as i will need to know in regards to what my salary may be so i can work out my expenses and what i need to live on in NS, when i get over there.
Many thanks
