Where are you now? Still in BC or back in England?

Re: Probably been here before. Where to live?
[QUOTE=Gray C]Hi
We are still weighing up where we would like to move to in Canada, but I would just like to hear a few pros and cons for various areas provinces etc to help us decide. Dependent upon what you say, may determine where we go on holiday this year, on our reconnaisance trip.
My wife and I settled on Fundy Bay area New Brunswick. We are renting in St Andrews and will be buying near St George soon. This cost line is extremely busy during the summer months with holidaymakers from within Canada. Property prices are 50% higher than 30 miles inland. I recommend settling in NB between St John and the US border at St Stephen., along Route 1.

Thanks for the info and help, we will check it out. That is now about five different places to check out. It looks like it will have to be done over several trips (Good excuse to keep going back to Canada). I am sure we will not be disappointed with anywhere that has been suggested.
Thanks to everyone.

And with your new $90,000 + wages you'll be able to fly/drive to all of it now eh Glas.

.Ah, those withdrawal pains are difficult aren't they - especially for the bagels. We're having beautiful crisp cold nights here, which make my early morning runs a delight and gorgeous sunshine all day. Jim and I were out yesterday pruning our apple trees.....
Best wishes to you.....keep in touch

One of the guys I worked with kept a pair of nipple clamps on his desk ... I never really asked him what he used them for.

On the other hand if they up there offer, you can always take that back to the new guys and see what happens. Im with Willmore on this, I'd love to tell them you are leaving not just for the money but cos of the biggoted asshole you have to put up with. Win Win

In fact on your last day I would make a point of making sure that he can't understand a word you say!
