Apart from ice hockey it's the only thing they can collectively get sentimental about when they leave.

I hate Tim Hortons. There everywhere with there bland boring product.

When people asked me what is Canada like. I say like Tim Hortons anyone who lived in Canada would understand.

I love teasing people in the line up at the drive tho. What I do is park and wave to all the people in there cars waiting in the line polluting and causing traffic chaos. Go inside and then when I come out. I shout you fools look I got my coffee get off you fat backsides and walk in lazy gits and drive away.

Lived in Canada for over 40 years, now back in Scotland, the only thing I will miss about Tim Hortons is there Iced Cappacino with a Hazelnut shot. Not the other stuff, much better coffee here, it least has some taste. My husband who is Canadaina says that Tim Hortons is Canada's national flower you can always find the cups by the side of roads, on the beach, in the mountains there everywhere.

I miss my timmies every day. Over here, they are into the cappo and flat white coffee (bloody expensive I might add).

Just wondering how long it took most of you to become addicited to Tim Hortons or maybe you don't like Tim Hortons.

I lived in Canada for almost 27 years and grabbing a Timmies on my way to work was a part of my everyday routine.

Just wondering what others thought about Tim Hortons.

Cheers

Yes of course. I'm very out spoken. I could not give a flying fist of Judah what they think. They do look embarrassed, Some just start straight head. Some swear LOL. If you think that is interesting then. There is no hope. So stop hiding under a rock and get out there and be pro-active. Life's for living and living it to the max.

Actually, I think I read somewhere that stopping/starting an engine uses more fuel than 10 mins of idling does, therefore you're wasting more than them....
