Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

I started on £7500 a year in 1986. I thought I was rolling in cash. Didn't take me long to wipe out my student overdraft and get nicely in the black. Good days filled mostly with football matches,...

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

It's not really a question of being right or wrong. It's just how people use words. I've heard people say "Did you golf today?" (verb) and I've also heard "Did you play golf today?" (noun). ...

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

Yeah but even stranger when you consider that 10.32km/h is actually 6.4125507 mph! So maybe it's a novelty sign rather than a conversion from mph?
