Thanks - hadn't caught the reference - though it reminds me of the yorkshire airlines skit which having only flown in/ out LBA a week or so ago is so very true!

Nothing in Calgary? I've been here a few years but haven't heard or seen of anything. It's a shame.

Lovely here too, bylaw says no personal fireworks. DD really misses Guy Fawkes Night. Have said if it's mild like this next year we might do something out at the lake. No such bylaw there it seems.

I thought Canada was embracing multiculturalism. As immigrants, they really should let us celebrate our traditions.

Lest they forget, 1812. :frown:
