Jesus wept. I suppose pommes frites is Russian?

But you can order fish and chips though and pay by cheque.

No that's the salad, you know the horrid one with diced frozen veggies and salad cream.

Well that's me in the stupid class then...

I find some of the President's choice crackers pretty good. I love the rosemary ones, and the assorted box is identical to what I would have bought in the Uk. Some of their biscuits (shortbread esp) are made in theUK too. No, I don't work for them, but biscuits are IMPORTANT, and I rapidly got sick of Oreos, etc.

My son would agree.

Any why don't you get butter with them?

Things I don't like, being too far from the sea, no cats eyes, no decent radio to listen to in the car.

That's easily fixed, Sirius carries the BBC World Service as well as umpteen advert free music channels.

I am I said

I have always heard this is because snow ploughs would take them off. NO idea if that is true.

Teaandtoday5

I tried Sirius but the world service is very strongly weighted towards Africa, and other less developed parts of the world, which can be interesting but not all the time. Music I get enough of when the kids are in the car, the rest of the time I survive on downloads of the archers, news quiz/now show, and fighting talk supplemented by cbc1 (which is a bit like permanently listening to 'you and yours') or 680 in case the weather forecast has changed in the three minutes since they last broadcast it. Audio books help though.

They used to carry Radio One, time shifted so the breakfast show was on at breakfast time. I found the weather forecast given to be as useful and accurate as that on the CBC.

It is, of course, true. It was tried many years ago but quickly abandoned because of the damage done to the highway.

How many cats eyes do you think would be left after this snow plowing exercise.

dbd33

It may once have been true but there are plenty of roads in America and in Switzerland that have both cat's eyes and snowploughs so, with the technology of today, it can be done. My guess is that Ontario doesn't have cat's eyes today because it didn't have them yesterday and things move slowly out here.

I find car insurance a tad pricey and I'm no fan of the humidity in summer. Beyond that, income taxes are too low and people seem far too inclined to vote Liberal over and over again.

a quick look at Plasticcanuck's video and you get an inkling why car insurance is high.

I would have thought the bigger problem would be water getting into the catseye/ road substrate and wrecking it via freeze-thaw.

Almost Canadian

Is freeze-thaw really much of an issue to infrastructure outside of Alberta

I do that, it's my duty as an immigrant.
