Re: My husband's 'Right of Abode'. Is it still valid?

No, he chose not to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain as he always intended to return to Canada to live. He is hoping that he still has that option upon his return to the UK, and that it has not...

Re: Is it REALLY much better????

I'm married to a Canadian who wanted to come back to Canada, because he thought things would be better here. He'd spent 7 years in the UK after our marriage. We've been here just over two years now,...

Re: Moving back from Nova Scotia

Hi, yes, if you can PM please I would appreciate it. I'm interested in seeing your house is in Lancashire. I'm from Somerset but thinking of going to Lancashire. Have you settled back there okay?

Re: Caster sugar

I've found that the Atlantic Super Store's extra fine sugar is practically the same as caster sugar, whereas Sobey's fine sugar isn't the same. We're in Nova Scotia.

Re: Buried or cremated in Canada or the UK?
