I hesitate to ask.....but what is wrong with Canadian bras? :rofl:
Are they inferior to UK bras, and if so, how? People should be made aware of these things before they go traipsing across the globe, it's a long way to go to end up walking around commando. When I got married in Montreal in 2000 I couldn't find my size anywhere in Canada. I felt like a freak I tells ya:cry_smile: I spent my whole wedding day try to make sure "the girls" didn't make an uncalled for appearance.:blink: |

And Tesco's lovely Canadian back bacon. Obviously all of it for export, none on shelves round here :eek:
Since you can't bring bacon, I'd stock up on: bras brabantia bin liners bedding books ...seems Canada is short on all things beginning with "b" ;) I would have spent more time with my family and friends and seen more of the UK and Europe. Don't really miss any food apart from Marmite and that is the fee for staying with me :thumbsup: :rofl: |

There are quite a few microbreweries around the Lower Mainland. There must be more than Kokanee around where you are. Nelson has one, for sure, though Kootenay Pass might be a bit daunting after a skinfull. A good choice of beer in the local liquour store but it's still not the same. The landlord at my old local in Dorset was a member of CAMRA and would stock all manner of real ales from all over the UK. He would change the 'guest beers' every 7-10 days for new brews. Dog's Bollocks was always a popular choice and the beermats the reps left were almost collector's items.:lol: I get a better selection of beer here than I had in Ireland! |

Why is everyone having problems with bras? I have had no trouble, not had any trouble with any underwear for that matter thanks to La Senza :thumbsup:

Blackcurrant squash. We've even seen Marmite here, but the concept of squash seems to have eluded Canadians so far.

Re: Stock up before leaving UK
interesting, thought you could'nt take any kind of food in. So exactly what are you allowed to take through customs.
thought we'd take a few essentials for our daughter, until we find canadian alternatives, make the first few days/weeks easier for her. |

I'll be bringing as many clothes as I can fit in my suitcases and PG tips to last at least 6 months. |
