Hey, I've been known to wear a baseball hat (albeit not one for a feed mill or a bottom fermenting bland brand of beer) at times, and I think we've seen you wear one of your blog photos....does that make me a knuckle dragger.?

Re: why did you want to leave the uk?
Jeez this thread has gone on a bit. Can't we just agree to disagree that the UK (YUK Rich 007 used to call it) is a rotting sespit of crime full of freeloaders and bloody immigrants.
Now lets move on.
Now lets move on.

Coupled with the ridiculously high tax I wonder if it is all worth it ? Your boss has six weeks because he is the boss and bosses make the rules. One of those rules in Canada is that the workers work a minimum of 50 weeks a year, and just have two miserly weeks off to rest.
At least the boss will give you a pat on your back, the same way he pats his favourite labrador.

Not as many as in the UK and we still are entightled to a minimum of 4 weeks holiday per year on top. I suppose its one of the benefits of living in the Queens favoured land and home, rather than a remote outpost.

Canada is anti-discrimination in name only. Get away from government claptrap, and from the major cosmopolitan cities, and you will hear many racist comments.
