I also don't see where I have "given it out". What is "it"? And what can I not "take"? I rarely post on this board anymore as, with many others, I find the overall atmosphere to be unpleasant. If this is not being able to "take it" then ok.

I don't know what your problem is, in general and in particular with anything that I have said, I really don't. You seem to have no substance in any of your replies, yet you seem fully equipped to tell me all about what I think. You don't ask, you just seem to assume. You also seemed to infer that I was being sarcastic, some snide little comment like that earlier in this thread but you were wholly incorrect. I was genuinely interested and asked actual questions...somehow you see this as sarcasm. It's odd behaviour for an adult but a classic example of how people are just mean on the internet.

You clearly do have a problem with what I said about Vancouver because you just about had a fit over the diversity thing. That's why this thread now contains pages of rubbish, because you couldn't just let it go. Just couldn't accept an opinion....

And that's it because I can see this is pointless.

I simply can't take the freezing cold and snow or the heat and the humidity anymore. If it never gets above 21c or below 4c I'm happy.

In this day and age, who cares?
