Acording to my Kiwi wife, any person from your area is a "Pom", as for me I was born in the UK but left many many years ago, my father being Irish and an RFC vet {observer on BE2C and RE8s} it became obvious that I would be better of out of the place, however having spent many years on layovers there I must confess both my wife and I are thinking of spending the winters in the UK, OK, so it rains a bit, but as a wise man said, "you dont have to shovel rain!"The improvment in the quality of life in the UK since the late fifties far exceeds that in Canada, this is clearly reflectd in our imigration figures, most are coming from truly crappy places, very few these days from Europe or other advanced countries.
