Hours? are you six or something? You could read it all in 10 minutes. Five if you skim-read it.

Read up to page 8 - skimmed through the pages and everyone started having a handbag fight about TV and Radio in the UK compared to Canada. I got bored and didn't feel there would be much more info based on the OP.

Since Steve is selfish and cant do a nice deed. Im doing a nice deed instead of them wasting time reading the bandbag fights.

In summary this is what people seem to be agreeing on:

Knocking down buildings and replace with new.
Supermarkets are huge and less choice, which can be seen as a good thing. Good quality items and not much of that rubbish ready meal stuff.
Less taxes
Lots of green space
Space in general (everyone seems to love it)
Friendly people
Less yobs around
Less stressful - The slower pace of life
Kids can be kids – in pretty much every way possible
Less traffic on the roads
Believe it or not a lot of people like the weather – good sunny days.
Bigger houses
No MOT on your car
Plenty of parking and cheap
Higher standard of customer service
Less crime
no fences around peoples gardens so you don't feel all enclosed in your own tiny little space
Sense of community

If this was a thread I posted i would do a summary for those that don't want to read a ridiculous amount of pages. Its nice to do something nice for others. If you can imagine reading all the relevant threads on here it would take forever to read them all. If there was a summary for those that require info like this one it makes life so much easier for people but some people are just selfish.

The amount of threads ive read that turned out to be disappointing is frustrating. Reading a summary makes a huge difference and doesn't waste peoples time just like the multiple pages on this thread about the hand bag fight over TV and radio.

But nobody except you wanted a summary, so what's the point of the above?



Wouldn't it have taken you less time to skim read the thread (not exactly a challenging undertaking) than to waste time writing posts to abuse other people?

I would have thought what i said was self explanatory. Re-read it. I know no body expected me to I did it to be nice for those that don't want to read multiple pages of a hand bag fight over TV and radio.

I don't agree. My condo in Toronto is about the same size as my flat was in the UK.

Seems a pretty pointless waste of time given that no-one needed it though. Strange...

Your the only one I see in the thread that disagrees, the majority agree. I summarised the thread. Everyone will of course have different views/
