Funkster,
Please send Guiness and not that stuff in the strange cans. Since you and your countrymen will reap the rewards of Jeanna's presence on an ongoing basis , we will expect shipments of Guiness each month in perpetuity. Now would be a good time to start.
In the event that Jeanna and Loz return to Canada, the shipments of the beverage must triple for the duration of their stay as we will expect the consumption to increase as we celebrate.
Jeanna - congrats to you both as you embark on the latest chapter of your lives.
I know that Loz will be the perfect guide as you adapt to life in the UK. I thought of a few things that you might want to keep in mind as a Canadian in Merry Olde:
1. You can put your boots in the boot but don't put your bonnet under the bonnet.
2. Chips equal crisps and fries equal chips but crisps are not equal to fries.
3. Besides you, another notable Canadian export was Andrew Bonar Law, born in Rexton, New Brunswick. He was British Prime Minster in 1922-1923. Best not to mention Lord Black.
4. The first floor isn't really the first. The second isn't the second. In the UK and France the buildings start with a floor that doesn't count. This is the one thing that the French and British agree upon.
5. Elevators are lifts and trucks are lorries. You can put a lift in a lorry but it would be tough to get a lorry in a lift, even if you did want to take it up to the first floor.
6. When driving on the motorways, right is wrong and left is right. Otherwise you may get into a prang with a lorry and crumple your bonnet.
Best wishes.
Rick
