Relocating to Calgary
Looks like I'm relocating to Calgary. Need a few recommendations...
A good place to watch rugby on tv (6 nations, world cup etc)
The best 'english' curry in town
Any shops selling heinz baked beans, 'proper' PG Tips and robinsons barley water
Will likely have more questions as the date draws near, but this is a start.
Cheers...

3. www.britishpantrycanada.net - they definitely have all three, was in there the other day.

Re: Relocating to Calgary
Well you can't seriously expect the prices not to be pretty high, they have to import it in relatively small quantities from the UK. If you're buying UK stuff here it's more of a treat than an everyday thing.
MacEwan's butchers on Elbow Drive have a lot of UK stuff too, there are various other shops around town but none of them are particularly inexpensive.
But it's not terribly hard to find comparative stuff in most cases, for example the PC breakfast blend tea is pretty similar to UK PG Tips.
