Mumsnet Talk

Jacks, nah, stick on the route 1 until you get to the mountains. That's me.

Know lots of folk in Okotoks, though. Even more little Britain than here!

Let us know how he likes it...

It's all right, we're too polite to out you

I linked to a meet-up thread above - apologies for hijacking yours!

Oops, spot the name change!

Thank you for all your ideas, everyone. I have wrapped and parcelled up the gift and will post it when I can get to a post office.

Please feel free to continue using this thread as a Canadian meet-up thread.

happy snow days!

The weekend papers. That is a good idea. We get proper beans, thank goodness. They cost a fortune!

Mrs TP - it does get quiet on here of an evening, doesn't it?
My other half is in the UK this week for MIL's birthday - bring back list is just general chocolate and weekend Guardian. After 20-odd years am even used to the beans. We used to bring suitcases full of stuff back from vacations.

iPhone <spits> Android here. Link to the original Canadian MN thread. I miss talking to people in the middle of the English night.

I started a Western Csnadian MNer meet-up thread here.

I have just enough iPhone battery left to check in once or twice but after that I'll have to check later or tomorrow. DH and I are at the Lions game in Vancouver tonight, and my poor old iPhone battery is crapping out.

Oooh! I am in Surrey - near White Rock. We have a British store for the essentials like Bisto, Walkers and Jaffa Cakes. Love mumsnet and tell all my Canadian mum friends to have a look

Link to what, Mrs Terry?

And here's how to do links on an iPhone, courtesy of yours truly.

Bump and link anyone who knows how.

I'm the Kamloopsian, and you didn't upset me

Isn't Fort McMurray the wild west? We've friends in Fort St John, which is something of the BC equivalent but they tell me it's quite civilised there so perhaps Fort McMurray is too?

I'm in the hell on earth which is Vancouver island. Please tell me I have to come to civilisation Vancouver for a meet up. We had a Scottish butcher but they are closing <weeps>

Is that Okotoks, madwoman? One of my friends used to live there, I've been there a few times.

An hour outside of calgary in the touristy bit <tries to be all incognito and fails miserably>

Fort Mac? was it you I upset on the Canadian thread? Ah, no, it may have been Kamloops... <disclaimer - am going to Kamloops next year, and have a lot of friends in Fort Mac at the mo >

Will bump the cdn thread if I can find it...

Mm, bacon...

Me. I'm in Vancouver.

I went for a job interview years ago with Lululemon. Big mistake - they're a bit bonkers different.

I found proper Ayrshire bacon at the store the other day. It set my smoke alarm off & sent DD running out the door shouting "fire! earthquake! fire! get under the table!" but it was so good.

Have any of you tried the British Pantry? It stocks some M&S biscuits!

I miss English bacon and sausages too. I'd kill for a proper pork pie or scotch egg.

<whispers quietly> I'm in Fort McMurray

Madwoman? Where are you?

And I'd love a link to the Canadian thread. Or we could start a new one. Or even an FB group?

Ok, roll call.
I'm just outside Vancouver, it would be about a half-hour, 45 min drive east to my house.

I think nooka is in the Interior of BC?
And I don't know where MrsTerry lives.

Who else do we have?

Ooh! Hello fellow Canayjuns! <waves>

nooka where are you? I haven't seen a Leaf here. It's all F150's and the like. I had a Fiat 500 back in the UK. I wouldn't dare drive one here. It would get squished!

<snigger> at lulu lemmings and Silk Road tea

No thanks, I'll have coffee just like a normal person. I might love yoga but I don't have to be all fucking woo about it.

Seriously, a meet-up would be fab. D'you think it could be done some time?

We call them Lulu lemmings <sniggers>. So, when are we all meeting for coffee or Silk Road tea for Jacks?

It resurrects periodically, but isn't vair busy. I occasionally veer by... Might try and dig it out later!
