He means the people who live there and that they are more different.

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

Me too. I don't even know which is which based on those criteria.

Oshawa and Mississauga (and pretty much anywhere else in the 905) are more or less identikit clones.

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

I suppose the next question has to be "what's the difference in the population?". Do you have the idea that one's a haven for redneck cradles and the other some sort of ghetto? If so, which is which?

clever

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

Both are equally as shit and I wouldn't waste my time or money moving from one dump (Basildon) to another. I refer to Basildon as more similar to Oshawa based on the population, the proximity to Toronto (similar distance as Basildon to London) Oshawa's main economic income is the auto industry (or was...not so sure in this new economic crisis) Basildon has a large New Holland tractor plant that brings a big chunk of change into the town...and Oshawa, unlike Missisauga has a rugby team. That is why I compare the 2 to each other...being as I grew up in Bas and spend a fair bit of time in the Shwa. No need to blow this all out of proportion and start chirping back and foward. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and thats mine.

the Shwa??:rofl:

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

Wow, you guys have high school rugby teams...I'm impressed. That is however, slightly different from having a rugby club...Nice try though. I'm about ready to drop this whole 'lets prove each other wrong' game anytime you are :)

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

I suppose I concede the car connection though the Ford plant, while technically in Oakville, employs lots of Mississauga residents. I guess if you think Oshawa and Mississauga are different then fair enough, any difference is too subtle for me.

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

A number of years ago I had the misfortune of being acquainted with someone from Oshawa. He referred to it as "The Dirty Shwa".

You are so not down with the kids.

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

You guys?????

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

Thank goodness.

Even though we are within spitting distance of the Shwa I have never heard anyone call it that.

Re: Chav Britain: Another reason to move to Canada
 

I've heard it referred to as the 'Shwa' (cradles often call it that)..ditto goes for Peterborough being referred to as the "Patch"
