Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

You're probably more aware of it than me since you're on the road and aware of the lights continuously, whereas apart from cycling, I'm only paying attention when I want to cross.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I'm not a driver so can't speak for driving skills but my experiences just seem the opposite. Courtesy is way better.

Back in Bristol I had to cross at the lights where the Bath and Wells Roads...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

I've never pushed anyone in a wheelchair in the UK but the thoughtfulness shown when I'm out with my wife in hers do make me wonder if it would be the same in the UK.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

As stated in the examples, though, it's not just the lack of knowledge so much as it's lack in people you'd think would know better.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Absolutely.

It's not the lack of knowledge that's surprising it's the question coming from someone you'd expect to know better.

If, for example, you're talking to a lawyer, surely you wouldn't...
