Default We Love England!

Have delayed posting this, will get a barrage of "you haven't given it long enough", as have only been in Nova Scotia, Canada for under 5 months, but have realised quite quickly that we want to go home, lots of reasons why, bloody cold climate being one of them, know that England is in a recession right now, but we went through the last early nineties one and survived, have put canadian house on market and will come home asap!

Yes good for you after all we are all different.

Who knows what long enough is?

I think you know that it's not for you doesn't matter how long you have been there.

No. Are you? Last time I checked, expressing an opinion on BE was allowed. Perhaps you know different?

Only 5 months there and you want to come back already!!! Why did you choose Nova Scotia anyway and not somewhere decent like Ontario or BC?

Always amazes me when people complain about how cold Canada is, as its pretty obvious that its going to be very cold When anybody thinks the word Canada they think cold.

Dunroving probably is an expert, considering his own experiences.

The fact that Canada has cold winters shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

I thought the first reply was kinda tongue in cheek. Given my own sense of humour, I'd have put the same!

Who really cares whether you're going 'home' anyway except you, your family and friends? The point is, should anyone? Good on you for reaching a decision you're all happy with! Best of luck!

What sort of statement is "somewhere decent like Ontario or BC"? How many years experience have you had in living in various parts of Canada? Nothing beats a know-all.
