It sounds like there's room for something between normal and finest.

You are star!
i'll mention it to the board first thing in the morning! the "quite good" range -

I did this the first time I visited - my little bro is the proud owner of a Canadiens (of course) goalie top.

I don't know that it's necessary it's different when you live somewhere after all, but I'm picking up a load of Christmas presents that were too expensive to post so I feel I should have something too. I like the Jemimas/Cereal idea, bring back some weird foodstuffs you can't get at home. Its difficult to explain the draw of Timmies to someone who's never tried it.... Hmmm.

Is it strictly above board to take trees in/out of the country dbd? I like the idea but am not keen on receiving the attentions of HM Customs for my trouble.

the last few years when we have been to BC on holiday, I have alwaysmade a point going over with just a few clothes and buying the kids clothes in Canada, thinking they were so much cheaper than the UK but you can get clothes just as cheap there ( sainsburys, tescos and asda all do cheap clothing ranges) and in my experience they are, in general, better quality then what I've bought in canada from Zellers, sears, please mum
