Jerrico;
I did have to have one of your countryman come over here to show us how to make a propper pot of tea <G>, but we are still uncivilized since we refuse to put milk in our tea <G>... Go figure though, I drink my coffee with it.
regards
Scott

Scott, hate to correct you mate, but most of my countrymen only know how to drink beer (Australian). Tea is something them English types drink with scones and jam isn't it?

Quite right Jerricho, but they do a passable imitation at the Fairmount Empress in Victoria every afternoon....pricy mind, but the ambience (not one of those white van thingys with the flashing blue lights) is great.

a thousand bucks the other guy
And those heading this was will be glad to know it's officially been the coldest sunner on record here.
"Winnipeg has broken the record for the coldest June, July and August, Environment Canada meteorologist Jay Anderson said yesterday.
The mean temperature for those three months was 15.6 C, compared with the historical average of 18.3 C. The previous record was set in 1992, when the average temperature for those months was 15.7 C -- only a fraction of a degree warmer than this year. "

Not checked out yet. And having a great time. The other resident import is enjoying himself as well.
Refreshing to have a 20 minute drive to work, door to door. I don't miss the M25 and M3 at all (or paying the equivalent of $2.30ish for petrol).
I can only speak from my experience here at YWG Centre, but Nav Canada seem very supportive in getting "imports" checked out. The manager of IFR training is a very switched on guy, and takes a genuine interest.
I'll be honest though............never seen so many VFR/IFR training aircraft in my life.
I suppose it's a source of revenue.

Latest Brisbane stats,
- Traffic increasing to pre Sept 11 and Ansett crash levels (nearly there)
- Petrol currently 92.5 - 97.5 cents per litre
- Temp. 23C during the day
- Surf 3'+, but last 2 days northerly wind has flattened the swell
- Still only takes me 25 minutes to get to work (that's at warp factor 1, 15 mins at warp factor 5)
- AsA (managers and controllers) now united against common enemy - Dick.
How's the snowboarding?
