You've had more farewells than Sinatra. I only wear shorts, too hot here for jeans.

Er, yeah, I thought it was an attempt to bait Canadians, not Brits in Canada. There's a few of us Canadians who have a thread going in the Aussie forum, talking about coffee, RRSPs, and the weather. So, no doubt we're an exciting bunch.

You have got to admit it is quite funny.
It was aimed at me. I told him to behave in another thread and he started it as a joke. Nobody mocking anyone except a little lighthearted banter between a poster and a (Canadian/Australian) mod.

I think if you look at my first reply to him you will see it was meant as fun.

Even with the exchange the Canadians can afford to eat lettuce. I'll ask my sister and let you know.

I still honestly fail to understand why anybody would want to move to Australia, but it's different things for different people I suppose.

It's ok, I have no idea why people live in Manchester. Each to their own

Definitely.

Personally though I think if I really fancied moving to an abandoned prison island then I would probably opt for Alcatraz. At least then the San Francisco night life is within close reach.

Provided you are an excellent swimmer. I'll take prison any day if it provides great pay, great weather, superb wines, relaxed lifestyle and the only first world economy to escape recession.
