Re: Best City in the World
AlmostCanadian- yes, of course it would be easier to access Glencoe from Romford, than Banff from Newfounland, but that is due to the VAST size difference between Canada and the UK. Besides, I've heard the Maritimes has lots of wonderful places to see; you wouldn't have to go to Banff for spectacular scenery.
Oh, well, thanks oink, but the point I was trying to make to Alan2005 is that other people get their buttons pushed, I'm hardly the only one. Read back you'll this started when dboy's button got pushed.
And in all my many years living in Canada, I've never seen a shed that small. However, it's only a bit smaller than the one we have in our postage sized back yard here in Chadwell Heath.

Yes I could say that too. Anyone will take offense to their home Country being put down and all this tit for tat stuff you are just winding eachother up.

Lorry 1- It is mainly other BRITS who have made (or want to make) Canada their new home that dbd winds up. Go back pages and read the exchange between dboy and dbd to see where it started.
Wanted to also say, that I agree with other posters that studies like these need to sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt. There are many other great places to live that don't make it on these lists . I've been several times with my South African husband to Cape Town, and I've fallen in love with the place. I'd take Cape Town over London or Vancouver any day. The Western Cape is stunning. But it will never, for factors, make it onto any list.

Yup, high unemployment and gangs, just two of the reasons why Cape Town would never make it on any list. But, for beauty, it's spectacular. It's one of those places that somehow gets under your skin.
My sister in law lives a few minutes drive from Bloubergstrand- you can google some images of it. We spent some lovely times laying/walking on that beach admiring Table Mountain or having a drink at a restuarant with that view. Simon's Town, Stellenbosch... can't wait to go back.
So sad, stunning place but yes, some serious problems.
