I'm back now - been in Ottawa all weekend................what's been happening? missed owt?

Now - where's the hunks??????? i'm ready!!!!

Finally - after trawling through the whole place I might have found a bar that is open.

Do you guys in Canada have cider because that is one thing that I cannot get here?

Can I have a pint if you've got it please?

Certainly - Magners, Strongbow - what's your fancy???? did you bring any GOOD Chianti with you????

I'll happily swap Chianti for cider.

Used to drink Strongbow - sister made me try Magners at Xmas. I liked it but not the price of it.

You could probably have 2 bottles of Chianti for one of Magners.

That's more than a fair swap methinks.

Cheers - salute - slainte

I'll take it!!!!

Slange

If only it was that easy

Wouldn't it be good !

yes - if only we could disappear into our laptops and actually be in Italy or whereever.......................I know, I know.......bless I'm more to be pitied than laughed at.........................

Maybe somebody could set up a BE swap shop.

I'd happily post something Italian to somebody if they would post me a good book in English. I don't even care if they are well read. I need books in English and the few I can get here are all about £12 each - even the skinny slim books that I can finish in an hour.

I can read Italian - not the same thing at all

Now there's a thought.................

I could post out dried porcini mushrooms and stuff to people because they are cheaper here and other people could post t- bags to me that cost a fortune here. The postage and weight would be more or less the same.

I'm in Canada, the cost to post a Mountie would e hellish>....... what would you want from here that's light????

Decent tea bags and a paperback.

Not sure about what else Canada has to offer in the way of light posting, ie, just sticking something in a jiffy bag.

You can leave the moose there thanks. Not sure my neighbours would appreciate one in the back garden.

the only decent t-bags are the Brit ones here................how about maple syrup sweeties?

There are no Brit t-bags here. Only crap like Liptons and Italian Star Thè.
Oh we get Twinings but far far too expensive.

I'm not keen on maple syrup but I have an Italian friend that lived in Montreal for 5 years (that's probably why she's such a good friend - not too Italian mamma type and all that) and she loves it.

Nobody knows why it's hard to get hold of here. She makes me bring her some back each time I go back to the Uk.

mm...i miss Yorkshire T bags - can get them here but the cost a fortune, so i put up with the crappy ones.
