DAB is basically non existant in Canada....6 music is only available on the internet here as far as I know....satellite radio carries bbc radio 1 and the world service I think.

UK ones, without a doubt.
Your home, your choice of music.

They have to be educated, whether they like it or not.

Hope this got an airing.

I have seen Canadians wearing these boots, along with a similarly vacuous expression, so they should find these characters right up their street.

Well I get to try the theory out with our Canadian counterparts tomorrow night at the Christmas social where the main objective rather than collegial festive fun, is to apparently to show off our new toilet.

I can understand that.

When I tiled the bathroom, I practically drowned visitors in cups of tea until they had to go to the toilet, at which point I accompanied them to make sure they fully appreciated the precision of my grouting while answering the call of nature.
