The problem with British expat-immigrants is, they're all like, "ooh Canada, let's assimilate, ooh when in Rome, ooh its better than my life in an awfully drab and thin semi-detached Wimpy house in the suburbs of Doncaster, ooh when life gives you lemons etc.

I don't like those type of people.

ps sorry we've hijacked this thread a bit.

I won't be able to be there, sadly, as I shall be 'up north'. I will raise a glass as a virtual attendee. I will miss our evenings at the Yard, always enjoyable.

I will be there not sure yet about the Mrs. I also invited a Brit from my workplace who started recently. He seemed very interested in coming. He also said he was aware of the forum

How far Oop North is 'up North'?

I shan't attempt the Feb meet-up. I'd be up for a spring one even in Oakville. As I can make it to Toronto, surely I can work out how to get from Tto to Oakville & back if the Oakville crowd can do the reverse? .

I don't think there's any coming back from Oakville.

That might be a whoosh?

(Unless you mean public transport late at night?)

One train an hour (last one at about 11.30) and it takes approx. 45 minutes.

Mr S always comes to the meetups, and Jerseygirl often brings Jerseyboy! And Sharkus brings his ladyfriend too. And Garethr brings his Mrs. So definitely bring other halves!

If we do an Oakville one in the Spring then definitely organize when you'll be back this neck of the woods for it.

That would work, thanks . I don't think I've ever been at the Yard much past 9pm-ish. Ok, maybe once.

GO Trains haven't been hourly in awhile. THey're now every 30 minutes. I just checked the schedule, trains from Oakville back to Toronto leave Oakville at :26 and :56 until the 10:26pm train, then the last one at 11:26pm.

Count me in for spring meet-up in Oakville then, if it turns out to be feasible for the majority .

My error.

Still sounds a bit like A Monkees song.

Take the last train to Clarkson.....".

I suspect it was meant more metaphorically than that. As in, once you've been to Oakville, there's no hope for your soul...
