Very confused in Jersey aren't they?

Physically really part of France. Politically really part of the UK (occasionally Germany).

That's enough to confuse most people.

The Channel Isles are still called les Isles Norman or Anglo-Normande on French maps.

Poor sods; let them write their own bloody anthem. The composer of Ma Normandie, one Frédéric Bérat was born in Rouen.

Sounds a bit Malvinas.

Here's the waterslide in the park; the hill just caved in beneath it from all the rain.

I think it's a faux pas in Canada to ever complain about warmth.

The thing to say is that you're going to browse around Canadian Tire for a few hours or have a nap in the basement.

It's as if it's not in the lexicon. There is a significant lack of coldness today.

I complain non-stop about the heat when its warm, I can deal with cold and actually seek out cold places, but warmth is not something I can handle well. Zaps all my energy, and keeps me indoors where the a/c is.

But I am not a born and raised Canadian though, but when you spend 25 years in a mild warm weather environment where you have 25C Christmas Days, never saw snow until your nearly 20, well cold is still a novelty..

I should probably mention we don't get the extreme cold out here either, so probably helps make winter more tolerable....

Pity he isn't coming near us. We'd ruin him.

We've been to St. Helier a couple of times on day trips from Granville which is only about 35-40 minutes from here.

We've yet to feel the need to search out a Marks & Spencer's.
