why?
WHY?
i love canada and Edmonton where we live but WHY? do adverts come BEFORE the end of programmes on tv so there is a chance you can miss a crucial ending?
WHY? do they do great fried breakfasts but they are dry because there are no beans or tomatoes?
WHY? dont they do proper cream cakes, as beautiful looking as their cakes are its just not the same
Why do canadian adverts and americans seem to have an obsession with viagra, cialis,diet pills and exercise machines?
and finally CHEESE, what is it about cheese in any form and especially cheddar (not that nice either) in cubes,slices,slabs jars,tubs and where ever you go to eat out you can have whatever you like with or without CHEESE

Re: why?
I have been visiting Canada for about 17years and it still amazes me how :
gravy - comes in a seperate little bowl. Why dont they slap it all over ya chips ? (oops sorry fries
)
restaurants ask you if you need a "doggy bag" to take stuff home - in the UK the waiter looks down his nose if you ask for one of these
Just wondered

Focus mind-power on overcoming all obstacles - Marmite, Walkers crisps, Heinz beans, cheese, chocolate, bisto gravy - all are dark enemies of the pure Jedi mind. Once you overcome these barriers to happiness, no need to campaign there is. All is tranquil within.
Come join me and elevate to the 7th level of Jedi master.

A young Jedi, overcome his whining he can. Mental effort it takes, to integrate and find new ways to become Jedi guru master at 7th level.

Seek, find you shall. Do not seek, nothing you will find.
Come join Master Rich in the tranquil land of Owaii'oia, beyond the stars, beyond the land of Elysia it is, far away from the land of flip flops and the dark side. Even further to travel beyond Paradise it is.
But if it is cheese you seek, Tesco your place in this world is.
