I do spend all day with a few cameras scattered around my van so anything is game for me at the mo....LOL

It's gona be a trip to a Timmies drive thru next week, alway interesting when ordering in Toronto. Reminds me of them lucky bags we used to get in the UK as kids.

I suggest a video explaining the various parking signs of Downtown Toronto. That should keep you busy for a few months.

Ha yeah, a valid point.

All this NO PARKING on the left side of the street from May 3rd from 6pm until Nov 4th 5:30 pm Then it changes to the right side from Nov 3 ect.

What a mare trying to work that out.

This sounds like a tricky project. I suggest you take your time in taking it on.

In the meanwhile, how about getting on and off a streetcar. Huge potential for satire there.

Gotta love wikipedia
I also like the Wiki.

But have you sat and read all of that link you put out, 99% of the info is not really what you need to know to get your packet of wine gums from the local 7/11 or gas (petrol) station.

They could both run along side each other in harmony, one link for someone who has a minute or two to spare and the other link for the person with bugger all to do all day but read. Now then, Canadians just love to read and read and....
