Re: So glad I made the move
Im sorry to hear that, must be terrible living somewhere you really don't want to be.
Maybe its because I'm presently single and have no kids, so I have not ties in either country, so it would be simple for me to move back if I wanted to. I'm happy here though.

Re: So glad I made the move
I have been in Calgary for about 18 months now and I am now coming to the end of my first trip back to the UK.. I I'm so glad I never gave up on my dream of moving to Canada and I'm so glad i made that move in the first place... after spending the last two week back here in the uk I cannot wait to get back to Calgary.. just wounding how many of you thought the same after coming back to your old homes for the first time?

Re: So glad I made the move
i have been here since 1962
quite satisfied
in 2000 we wanted to see what it would be like to move back since none of us are getting any younger
I stayed with my sister so it did not cost me that much
but finding work was not to be, plus the high cost of living were two deciding factors in staying put
it was an interesting six months though

I enjoy living in Canada. Mind you, on the whole I enjoyed living in London. I think on the whole I enjoy life. At the moment - and for the foreeable - I'm enjoying it in Canada!

Re: So glad I made the move
The vision was to be a multimillionaire on a private island in the Caribbean now with scantily clad women bringing me cocktails whilst I wrote my significant memoirs for the world. My aspirations were high.
In the interim I have to settle for wings at Hooters on a Monday night. There is only one Hooters in the UK.....
