All I tried to suggest was that in the absence of thumbscrews, nipple clamps might be easilly obtainable alternatives ... obviously I'm typing with too heavy an accent nowadays.

Well, all I'm going to say is that a person would probably have some difficulty finding them in Victoria.
So......what's making you feel so old today?

In my opinion as I said before, if I worked for an employer who an attitude problem with an accented person, and was offered a better position somewhere else, I'd be gone....after I let my feelings known at the exit interview. I'm not talking about "burning bridges" because I assume that the IT community in Calgary would know each other pretty well.
Change is difficult at any age, not just someone of such advanced age.....so go for it....if you feel it's right for you.......!!!!!!!
