And you're not homeless?

Mall walking, a common senior pursuit. At Agincourt Mall the locals do Tai Chi.

Guess it depends on what your passion is. I've been in Canada for 8 years now and still can't by a bra here that fits me, still hate most of the clothing choices and still find it very hard to find anything of a reasonable price at a reasonable quality.

That always strikes me as a bit creepy. Not sure why.

Although I am very excited that All Saints is opening in Yorkdale in a couple of months, and that unlike J Crew, they've decided on price parity with the US. But then typically it still costs about $150 for a top.

In terms of clothing, English Canada is something of a cultural desert. There are (or were) a few reasonable Quebec clothing retailers (Bebo, Tristan, Femme) but without exception, all pretty expensive.

Any place is better than Buffalo. :D

Thank gawd for M&S online. :thumbsup:
