Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I have another who's given up drinking entirely. He's in England so that seems a terrible waste of pubs.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Oh, it's easily available on tap (though I usually go for Arkell). It's just bottles and cans that are in erratic supply. Most often I get by with Mad Tom but yesterday I bought a case of assorted...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Also present in Ontario. I've purchased their chicken in Scarborough and in Guelph.

In contrast to the Pukka Pies story above, I commend Fuller, Smith and Turner for their timely and informative...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

That suggests that there's a difference between the characteristics of Canadians in different regions. What is it?

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Oh! I was baffled by your earlier post because I don't meet enough Canadians for it to matter what they're like. The workforce here is from the four corners of the earth. "What's s/he on about?" I...

Question Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I live with a cider drinker and so I know Strongbow and Magners are everywhere, as Bud Lite and Coors Lite are everywhere. However, as with beer, there are no end of other choices. In Vancouver, Sea...

It doesn't. Now I think about it, I saw someone jump from an aeroplane and survive parachute failure; he hadn't suffocated when he went through the roof that broke his fall. I heard him comment,...

I have the idea that there's a height beyond which it makes no difference; the jumper accelerates to the point of suffocation before making ground contact. Whether or not inability to breathe...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I don't know that but I feel you're failing to convey the key fact about this suicide.

When I lived opposite the Yard I'd wander in there on the way home from work to be told, 20' or 15' or...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

A poster controlled by another. It's a technique often used in debate or sales; a poster creates a bunch of other ids and uses them to endorse his or her idea or product or just to have a laugh.

I've just typed that joke but thought the better of posting it. Errol Flynn's enormous 'ampton is not a fit subject for this board.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

And that would be fine if we were in a country where things were built in 10s. In
the UK it works because the UK is part of the EU and the EU is metric so most things are supplied in dimensions...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

My brother is a bricklayer here, in Canada. He works in imperial, as houses are built in imperial. I think he'd struggle if he went home and had to start dealing with metric.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I will have you be knowing that my Mother has ignored both the metric system and the French language all her life without being offended by either. Her prejudices lie elsewhere.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I think you must work for the government because, as you know, I, like most people, live in Canada in imperial measures. Today, for example, we've been building a deck using 8 and 10' planks. For the...

I believe Canada went metric because the Canadians thought the US was going to. They're not very worldly, the Canadians.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I have to correct them all the time out here. They can't say Listowel, though they live there and they can't manage Delhi nor MacDonnell either. This isn't a great country for spoken coherence.
