Re: Abbotsford - information

I work in Abbotsford but choose to live nearer to Vancouver. Coming from London, I personally find it very weird. It is a Bible belt and also one of the gangster capitals of Canada.

Re: Let's face it... Britain isn't so bad over all

I agree with you about the coffee...here in Vancouver it's Starbucks rather than Tim Hortons - much more pricey and not that great either. I have to say though that Vancouver people tend to be very...

Re: Let's face it... Britain isn't so bad over all

Haha, yes indeed I had a license in the UK but I am afraid that I've forgotten how to drive a manual on the left after driving an automatic on the right for the past 4 + years:ohmy:

Re: Let's face it... Britain isn't so bad over all

If you were to opt for a home birth, the hospital cannot forbid it per se, but the health professionals involved can refuse to be involved. If you were to bring a midwife from somewhere else or...

Re: Let's face it... Britain isn't so bad over all

Thanks for that. Yes, I will be working in the NHS.....you don't appreciate it until you move! The health system in Canada is generally worse for patients especially if you land up in hospital here....

Re: Shipping a car back to the UK

My "stint" in Canada was 4+ years, but I've had the car for 20 months. I think my mind is made up and I'll just have to sell it. Thanks for the responses.
