Re: Diary of our move to Canada

I you don't have this playing on all your devices for the next 24 hours, you're missing out :)

Re: Diary of our move to Canada

No harm in trying to sell the same day privately as well, if the car is worth enough. If you can agree a sale and collection day, you can always take it to WBAC later in the day if the sale falls...

Re: Now this is a Jobsworth moment.

Seems like the ticket could as easily be for managing to park both on the kerb and a country mile away from it at the same time as well as on a bend. Good effort!

Re: Am I over-judging Canada?

I was born in Bristol, so although I'm a citizen since birth (mum was born in Ontario), I wasn't born in Canada. My parents moved to Canada when I was a ... what's the Northern translation ... a "wee...

No, really? Perhaps next time you have a few minutes off from wishing you were from Yorkshire you could explain some of that "sarcasm" in a way my feeble Southern brain will understand?

Re: Am I over-judging Canada?

I lived in Montreal for a while when I was a kid. I'm expecting culture shock - but not perhaps as much as someone who's never even visited. I also took the family over at the end of 2016 for a recce...

Re: Spotify vs Apple Music?

Google Play Music. You can upload your own tracks (on Spotify you can add tracks on a computer but can't then see those tracks from every other machine you have) and a family account gives you six...

Re: Advice on Emigration to Canada

This depends a bit on your visa route. I'm going through the spouse visa system to sponsor my wife, and our recce trip is one of the things we can use to show we're serious about moving.

Re: Moving back to Canada from London

There's a good chance it's going to get worse, not better. There are no guarantees, obviously, but if I were in your shoes I'd take the 1.60.

Re: Thank you so much but we're staying in the UK

Wow, they have some amazing options. I thought I was lucky with dual UK/Canada citizenship, but to retain an EU citizenship on top of that would be awesome. Hope they get to make the most of it!

Re: June 8th poll

That sounds about right. They'll argue they're not middle class or upper class because they don't want to be seen as horrible rich people, and then vote like they are middle or upper class because...

Re: June 8th poll

UKIP are going to end up on zero seats after this election, and were crushed in the local elections. They're done. Unfortunately that's as a result of Brexit likely going ahead.

Brexit isn't why we're looking to move to Canada, but it's certainly not making it any less attractive. The idiocy is astounding - threatening war with one of our nearest allies, and a major member...

The original version can have ethernet as well (I've got two of them, both with ethernet adapters). They're baslcally replacement plugs with the ethernet bits built in.
