Re: Shipping: Damage To Boxes???

Unless u are loaded or have very few boxes to ship, I would even consider air freight! Our stuff arrived in Calgary (via Sea) with very few breakages.

Re: Goin' Home - yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Don't worry, you might love it here - everyone is different aren't they? I know English people here who love it, as well as some who don't.

Personally, I have reached the decision that I'm not...

Re: Why are you / did you go back?

Good luck

Re: 7 Month Countdown Yippee!!

For me, I had to be away from Britain to realise HOW much I appreciate it and to recognise how British I am, is this true for others? I don't regret emigration at all as at the very least it has...

Re: Yorkshire - Calgary

We used Britannia to move - don't touch them with a barge pole and HIFX to transfer cash - fast and polite service, highly recommended.

Re: What's Midnapore like?

Midnapore is very close to 2 LRT stations - Shawnessey and Fishcreek/Lacombe (both with free parking). Train to downtown Calgary takes about 20 mins.

Re: What's Midnapore like?

Not a bad area, one of the older neighbourhoods in the south and is well established with lots of greenery/trees. Loads of shops nearby - you should have access to all you need.

Hope this helps.
