Re: Fashion UK vs Canada

I moved from central(ish) London UK to smalltown Ontario - definitely a dramatic style change! My first act was to buy some jeans and flat winter boots to fit in with the locals...my first non-heeled...

Re: Queen and Beaver Pub, Toronto

Went back in November. The Pride was a bit soapy tasting, but the bar upstairs is lovely to laze around in. Had a meal in the downstairs dining room, which was fantastic - rec the steak & kidding...

Re: I'm going to tell my parents of our plans to emigrate tomorrow

Re: Had it with this place - do not move here

I'm sorry that the OP has had such a bad time of it. Immigration is rarely easy; little things sneak up on you and sometimes you can't even articulate what you are missing. I appreciate his desire to...

Re: Renting out basement

For what it's worth, we're basement tenants, an Italian family live above us, and our landlords are on the top floor. They're a retired couple, university professors, who live on the income from the...

Re: Coming to Canada - dream over?

I sympathize with the OP, even if I don't exactly concur with his opinions. In my personal field the job market is dead - 8/10 of professional job postings are 'work study', basically getting...

Re: Give me Canada Post over UK Post office anyday

Oh, don't get me wrong (although I can see how you would) - several very good friends of mine worked for Royal Mail, and I know exactly how well they do considering that it's a service run by humans,...

Re: Give me Canada Post over UK Post office anyday

Heh, I paid them 90 quid to do that too - and they sent me all my mother-in-law's post and kept sending mine to my old address. And, after three expensive international phonecall complaints, they...

Re: Anyone got experience of Robinson's for removals?

Re: Expensive weddings

Tangenting off, I was wondering if anyone here had any familiarity with Stag & Doe parties? They seem - as far as I can tell - to be a southern Ontario thing?

In the UK, copyright was 80 years after the death of the author. However, if you are quoting for non-commercial purposes and citing the source (and it's not going to be on every billboard in town)...

Re: Clothes Shopping in Toronto v US v UK.

Basically what everyone else has said - out in the sticks, it doesn't really matter what you wear so long as it's practical (I arrived from London, UK in January and my first purchase was a pair of...

Re: Jon & Kate Plus Eight

Very true! I must say, I never watched reality tv in the UK - and don't own a tv here in Canada - but whenever I am at my parents' house I get my Jon & Kate fix on TLC. I can't explain why the...

Re: Cyder Glorious Cyder

Sadly there isn't any decent cider easy to come by in Toronto. I've heard rumours of the occasional cask being on tap at some of the 'real ale' places (Volo, C'est Wha?) but the Waupoos cider from...

Re: What's the equivilent of [shop name] in Canada?

Nah, Le Chateau is less fashion forward and more tacky than Top Shop imho. The closest you get to Top Shop are other universal chains like Urban Outfitters with a smattering of American Apparel. I...
