Yesterday we were allowed off but were kept back in the corridors until there was room for more people in the hall. it took an hour to get through.

Well yes, Pearson is a shitty airport, badly run and fantastically expensive to use. He's not new to Canada so he can't have been surprised. Why didn't he use Buffalo or Detroit?

Hubby gets very embarrassed about that. Nothing he can do as it's to do with insurance and other weird and wonderful ideas his superiors come up with. His only option is to look at moving on! Lol

So, according to the Daily Mail, that newspaper at the apex of truth and honesty, Prince Charles gets/has his shoelaces ironed very day. Do you perhaps think Camilla does it for him?

Also don't forget Range Rover drivers as well - you don't drive one do you because I've just insulted your driving lol.

No definitely not! :lol:.... They are a definite second, way behind the Audi drivers



Ooh- a little bit touchy- I wasn't in this instance comparing Canadian with British driving. No-one said that British driving was perfection, far from it - you know however my particular thoughts about the driving styles of my Provincial neighbours when they drive around us- certainly less than perfect on the whole I would say, you may feel that Canadians drive amazingly, that is of course your prerogative
