Well, el richo is jumping the gun a bit there - I haven't even moved over there yet:) Why he would look forward to reading such a sad thing about me or anyone else escapes me, but he'd better not hold his breath. I am sure that there are also idiots in Canada, just as there are everywhere, so I doubt that little revelation will make me run for the hills.
I'm unsure as to how anyone can get drunk in B.C properly anyway - the alcohol prices are vicious!:eek:

I was joking:thumbup:

Still, i have to admit to getting wound up much much more when driving in Canada when compared to the UK (i commute in London). I also know of more drink driving, of which appears to be more acceptable to the general population, in Canada. Silly buggers!!!

The point is, if you're wound up by drivers/driving in the UK, there's a chance it could be much worse in Canada :)

We are heading for the sticks, anyway, the lawless fringes of society where traffic is unbelievably light from our experience and driving after a few is probably not going to do any more harm than frighten the wildlife. Probably one of the Gulf Islands - just narrowing down our search at the moment. OH is going on a recce this weekend. OH is a biker anyway and as such has no time for car drivers (except me:wub:!).
We even very seriously considered (and may consider again in a few years if money alows) Lasqueti island as a location to live, which hasn't even got a vehicle ferry and has no mobile telephone service either. What Bliss!:thumbsup:.
