Re: Is it REALLY much better????
You are paying less than $16.50 a month to heat your house? Is that during the current heatwave or averaged throughout the year? My modest, by North American standards, 3 bedroom house in a place without extremes of temperatures, costs around $250 a month in oil to heat averaged throughout the year. If you have a way to heat a house for <25% of that then do share will you?

Re: Is it REALLY much better????
Probably since I am from Scotland I see the worst of the UK. Every "pub" that serves food where I am from is full of people who look you up and down and judge you, and then stare at you until you leave. Hence, I don't go out at home.
Also I noticed every time I would go out at home, there would be a bar fight, where someone was bottled, or knifed, or kicked, and Ive never once seen one here.
Sure its all do do with where I am from and Scotland as opposed to England. I am sure England is quite lovely.

I live near proper wilderness - it's got bears, cougars, coyotes and the like in it. I don't have to drive to it either as it's only 2 doors up the road.
I have to drive to every other ****ing thing though; so I guess it's all relative.

No idea where you are from but reading a few of your posts on various threads, it is probably best that you left as you seem to have a real downer on the place.

Sorry, but you can't tarnish the whole of "Scotland" like that. I too am from Scotland, Glasgow actually, and it's a fantastic city - nothing like you are describing. I also have family in the Scottish Borders, and again their areas are beautiful, great schools, family oriented etc.
I'd take Scotland over Canada
