Mmmmm, roti shops you say? I can live without Clacton-on-sea and if I get stuck, I can call my football fan bro in the U.K.

Re: What will you most miss about the UK
Now, I do miss those !!!!! We are heading back to the UK for a visit in the summer and we are SO going to a country pub for Sunday lunch. Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pud, the works. Yes, I can do it here, but sitting in that environment is uniquely British.

Re: What will you most miss about the UK
My Canadian wife has learned to make a decent curry using imported products found in the local Brit shop.
I get plenty of footie banter at work - got an Italian, another transplanted Brit (Liverpool fan but you can't have everything), a Man Utd crazy Canadian manager all firing off emails during the day. We even have an FA Cup tournament going (I'll spare you the points system).
English seaside - well I sort of know where you're coming from. The beach at Barrie is nice but not the same. Mind you, Wasaga Beach is lovely and the traffic in the summer is just like a Brit bank holiday on Bournemouth roads!
And I'm a Gooner too
You'll be fine, bud.

Good to hear my fellow Gooners are settling in so well
The seaside has an old fashioned charm in the U.K. but with over-priced Cockles and delinquents galore, maybe they won't be missed that much after all.

Your examples are unfair because they start in the US. Yes the US has some cheap airfares, Jet Blue, for example, offers comparable prices to Ryan Air, but if you're in Canada you have to get to the US to take them; add in the fare from, say, Winnipeg to NYC and your transatlantic fare is unaffordable.
There really aren't any passenger trains to speak of in Canada; it's not a usable method of transit for people, just freight.

There was such a train, I took it once. There's still a train to Montreal but my daughter who's at school in Montreal goes up and down by bus because the train's too expensive. I also went to Buffalo by train once but the existence of a train from Buffalo to Montreal doesn't negate the point that, generally, trains are not a feasible means of transport. Buses might be but the Greyhound web site is too difficult for me to work!
