Re: Should I move to Canada or Not?

Glad you had a mostly enjoyable trip, given the circumstances. Agree that March isn't the best time to visit!

Re: Why are the potatoes so rubbish?

It's not the potatoes, it's the ovens. You're used to having them baked British-style at 220V, and they don't come out the same in Canada because they've only got 110V. If you really want proper...

Re: Coronavirus

Re: Life's Turning-Points

Genuine question - are these British colonies really self-sufficient from sales tax, i.e. all the citizens' needs in terms of infrastructure, education, healthcare, policing, judiciary, local...

Re: What happened to this place?

Re: Life's Turning-Points

I took heed of dbd33's note about introducing an unnecessary edge to this thread by bristling against tax avoidance. But I can't let it go, and quite frankly the thread/board will benefit from any...

I think it's a little unfair to have a go at GB, he's simply using this site to reminisce about a long and interesting life and encouraging others to do the same. Most people, it would seem, aren't...

I haven't posted in this thread for a while because it seems nobody else is going to the movies ;)
