Re: Wood burner or pellet stove?

Back in the UK I worked with AGA Stoves. Without doubt I would go for a wood burner every time. They're nicer to look at, more flexible with fuel choices and more practical. Pellet stoves generate a...

Re: Can I use COPR to apply for BC driving licence?

They'll let you change it but you'll only get an interim licence - to get the photo card one they'll want your PR card. You've got 90 days to drive on the UK one, so no rush.

If you go...
