Canada was the first country to include the warning on cigarette packs that smoking causes a lack of sexual ability. Not coincidentally, Canada also has the lowest smoking rate in the developed world.

Oddly enough - at my wedding, all but a couple of the Canadians smoked, none of the Americans smoked, except me. Small demographic I know LOL And I mean the people who attended were smokers, people weren't actually smoking while we were getting married!

It is yeast extract, tastes kinda beefy, that you put on bread/toast. Australia has a similar product called Vegemite. You either 'love it or hate it'.....I am definitely in the 'love' bracket!!!

WTF???
British chocolate is the ONLY real chocolate! Everything else tastes like cr*p in comparison! Have you ever done a side by side taste test of Canadian Cadburys and English Cadburys? Blurgh, its horrible!

So ture...can u even compare 'Qualitry Street' u get here to the ones from the U.K!!!! I'm also a fan of Australian Chocolates...
I think it's the difference in the milk! Smiley

And...Marmite!!!! yummmm!!!!  @  pinklady...try on toast with some butter!!!

Love is a crazy word. Which can't be defined.
You can't find it, if found you can't get it,
if you get it, you can't forget it &
if forgotten, you haven't yet felt it!

Hmm ... wonder if out Brit store here sells it. I am always open to at least trying it... and they sell hagus so who knows ....

I have British heritage but my Nan shared limited things with us (probably wanted to make sure we never ate it all on her) lol...but one thing we found out for sure.....British Chocolate ROCKS!!!  Tongue

Although I'm not from Engalnd, there is a lot of British influence back home in Sri Lanka!

When I was new to Canada, I have had people look at me in a funny way when I've asked for Sellotape...Tip-ex.... Tongue
and I still can't understand why Colour is spelt as Color or Cheque as Check....!!!! It is soooo wrong!!!!  Huh
