And legs if muddy.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

It is Baltic out there today in London though. Can't imagine what a duty on Hadrian's wall would be like.

When I emigrated to the UK, I had this let down after a quick trip to Paris, to come back to laundry and job hunting and ironing for job interviews. That's when it started to really sink in moving abroad wasn't tourist 365, it was just life.

There was an advert for Jaguar where a few actors associated with playing villains played into it. Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong. Brits know the part they play in Hollywood films. 😄

Haven't yet, but just thinking, despite the 800lb gorilla to the South of Canada, I might be better there.

Fantasic work Nick and research. Scary.

Hopefully you find someone real to write that original brief. I've not been in Canada since 2008, but here in England, I'm concerned about the creep of two tier pay medicine appearing. Pay now and get seen, or wait for the NHS.
