Could have run out of steam as well.

It's all getting a bit chuffing silly now

sorry, but I think I'm missing your points

Yes, we are definitely on the wrong track.

I'ii take that as a signal to stop then

Clearly losing our train of thought it seems

Yeah - this forum probably isn't the right platform for puns

maybe we should take it underground?

You're right. People seem to be too afreight of them.

maybe, but I wouldn't want to be rail-roaded into it

That was a terrible one. Mind the gap on your way out will you.

Have you three finally come to the end of the line, or should I shunt this off to the maple leaf?

Maybe you should, otherwise we might go loco

It's ok Iain, I'm disembarking here as I'm choo choosing a bottle of wine and the puntastic company of my wife for the rest of the evening where hopefully "All aboard" will have a whole different meaning.

Anna - I too was torn between Canada and Australia. But after speaking to lots of Canadian's online it seems they have way more fun in the winter than we do in the UK. Also - the more I thought about it, the more I'd prefer real seasons.

Apparently, Vancouver can be quite gloomy and rainy in the summer whereas some of the other areas have snow and sunny skies.

One of the biggest deciding factors for us was the distance. Flights to and from Australia are long and expensive.
