I agree about choosing to look at life in a positive way, but it's hard to when the country you live in isn't in a very positive situation at present.

Countries aside, it seems whatever someone writes they'll be shot down if their opinion isn't the same as everyone elses.

LucyLocket, it's you that is being argumentative and shooting people down in flames. I only ever try to give balanced, honest opinions on why myself and family have experienced - something a lot of newbies to the site don't like when they hear something negative about their new chosen country - I was once the same;) As I have said to you already in this thread, I wish you every success in your move.

There is a lot of negativity here in Canada about the recessions too. I do read the news from England and it does sound awful there. It sounds awful in the USA and it sounds awful in Ontario too. (Alberta is still in it's little bubble of denial at the moment).

So LucyLocket welcome to the forum - try to read balanced views yourself before getting defensive and argumentative - you'll get a lot more out of them that way. (I'm typing that in a suggestive helpful tone not a sarky one).

ElaineB followed by yourself were the ones who made it an argument in the way you replied to LucyLockets initial comment on the current state of the UK

You still dont like it and then your negative about it as well, which youre right does make a nice balanced viewpoint...or really indecisive...

As I have said to you already in this thread, I wish you every success in your move.

A kind word, possibly a bit late but at least its a start

The recession is only a part of whats going on in the UK, many of the problems have been present, and growing, for many years

So LucyLocket welcome to the forum - try to read balanced views yourself before getting defensive and argumentative - you'll get a lot more out of them that way. (I'm typing that in a suggestive helpful tone not a sarky one).

Once again defensiveness is only required in the face of hostility, what was she supposed to do when you started this ridiculous argument, reply "oh sorry maam, please forgive me for my transgression of not subscribing to the Piff Poff authorized view, it will never happen again" ? (written in a true questioning tone not a sarcastic one!!!)

FFS! End of for me, I really shouldnt care what you do but it really winds me up when people are attacked for no reason at all.

I hope you continue to enjoy Canada as much as you obviously do, I know I will.


Ps. nice one lucylocket! There are some very helpful people on here, dont apologise for your post though you were spot on!

You are one weird person - you're posts have really confused me. I have not done any attacking - at all. I was asked a question - that's all, I answered.

Anyway I have a lot more important things on my mind right now than wondering if someone has read my typewritten words the wrong way.

I think that's whats happened here Piff Poff. I can't see where the posts you have written may have upset anyone.

I think its best puttng this to bed rather than going round in circles, anyway have you had any luck in trying to find a new hairdresser? :) One of the things I do is if you see anyone with a nice hair cut just go up to them and ask them where they get it done. They will like the compliment :thumbsup:

I have to agree Cassie not much point in responding further. I wish you all have a good hair day:D

when the recession gets you down you remember all the miserable gits for the most part are still in the UK, and they can’t sell the house and move here either,
and gently the smile appears across your face :rofl:
