Hope Eric comes across this thread , he's an ex Accy/Clayton guy who also lives in Canada and from reading his posts on Accy web I don't think there anyone is of a more Canadian mindset than him

Something which gets my goat both in Canada , Australia and other places where UK immigrants tend to gather is how they complain about "Coronation st" being 6 months or more behind the UK or how they can't find Birds Custard powder ...... sorry folks , you left the UK , adapt live like the locals
Can you buy Birds custard inthe bay area?
What about Nuttals mintoes?
Every city hasa little shop where ex pats can buy a little bit of something that reminds them of days gone by.
Things like CROSSE & BLACKWELL PICCALILLI, great stuff.
