But I do this all the time in Richmond Hill and I don't need a helicopter to go to work.

Just a minute, are warmbloods something specific or just squirrels and coons like what we have?

I rather suspected that. Although calling folk a peasant until you move back to civilization is something you should self ration.

Are you favouring Stouffville over Cabbagetown these days?

I am not favouring Stouffville over many places. I like Camden Town.

Sorry for the slow reply: Geordie needed a dump. Mission accomplished.

Do I hear an undertone of creeping returnism here?

Oh, it's not creeping, it's overt. I'm well amused to spend time with someone who thinks, as I used to, that the Beach is nice but way out in the 'burbs.

Yeabut, there's extreme returnism and then there's creeping returnism.

It was your mention of Camden which prompted the question.

Ah. We're going to Camden over Christmas, no serious intent to return there permanently but it should be a laugh for a week. Serious intent to return to Toronto but quite where remains unsettled, there are rather a lot of changes afoot in the new year.

Or in my case - No view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well not strictly true.

You're from Liverpool aren't you, so the concept of Posh may be rather different for you...........
