  1. *Stormforce~beka* everyday things are different that you never really thought of..like going to Walmart is totally different to going to Tesco for example.the store layouts are different and everyday consumables that you take for granted in the UK just don't exist here..pubs don't exist..the way you bank is different people still write cheques etc..when i first came here i couldn't find a cash point where i would find them in the UK..Takeaways are not the same.. no popping to the local chippy, Chinese or Indian ..if you like burgers and pizza fill your boots!..jay walking is a crime here..the way the traffic lights change is different and you can turn right on a red light which you cant in the UK..If you dont have correct change on transit you cant get on..jeez they dont even have cashless transport system..i could go on
  2. *Stormforce~beka* you would think that Canada would be easy...because everybody speaks English ..but its totally different to the UK
  3. SollyOlly its garbage..nobody wants this kind of sheet after a lovely warm spring weekend.
  4. Earthshine its not just about the weather..you need to watch for culture shock when you move abroad
  5. In Absence of True Seasons Kelowna is well known as heat trap sandwiched in the Rocky Mountains
  6. its strange to think that in reality 43c in Edmonton Alberta should be more likely than the UK...however the hottest temperature ever recorded here is 37.2c back in 1937
  7. the geese are back sure sign of spring here
  8. Don i purposely didn't show the following week when it goes back to highs of -8c and snow ..damn those SSWs damn you all to hell
  9. Summerlover2006 because no one is a live to have experienced and comment on this summer to give it some context.
  10. sundog its because of previous articles about ice free arctic this just one example from 2012 from the guardian Arctic expert predicts final collapse of sea ice within four years | Climate crisis | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM As sea ice shrinks to record lows, Prof Peter Wadhams warns a 'global disaster' is now unfolding in northern latitudes
  11. Weather Enthusiast91 how can as you say a horrific summer be underrated??
  12. B87 Euro 96 that June plus i got married at the end of the summer..so i tend to remember 1996 better than say 2005
