Go on.....tell us ya hoser! 
Watch it, hoser!

I've been thinking about this a lot... There are advantages and drawbacks to both countries.
I like the fact that I can drive for half an hour and see one of the most impressive mansion and estate grounds that I ever knew existed. (It's Castle Howard, for anyone here who might be interested in visiting.) I like that in the middle of the city centre of York is the oldest standing Gothic church in all of Europe. I like living amongst all this history, and having the opportunity to explore such a diverse countryside, which is all within a decent drive (ie. you don't have to drive for days to see something really interesting!).
I love the commercials in this country - the sense of humour is rife throughout, and I get a real kick out of some of the more experimental ones. I appreciate the television programming ideology of the BBC - no commercials! (I think the best way to get to know any society is to delve into its pop culture.)
Most of the drawbacks to the UK (for me at least) are completely subjective and personal. I don't like the area we live in, though it is improving quite a bit. I still get a little freaked driving on the left side of the road. I'm too far away from my parents (who are in Canada, duh), and I wish they could be around to see my son grow up (who is only 15 months old now).
All of my current friends I met through baby groups... everyone is a parent. I have no single friends, no student friends, and no friends who have similar interests to me... outside of parenthood. So I feel a little isolated - all my like-minded friends are online, and I can't always get in touch with them. My husband and I don't get a chance to spend much time together, except in the evenings when we're both too wiped from the day to talk about anything. Bleah...
The main difference is the language/slang. I have to be extra precise whenever I speak to anyone, to avoid any kind of miscommunication. And I find myself switching back and forth between English and Canadian, in an effort to remember what I knew once and to allow Connor to be 'bilingual'! LOL (Go see Favourite Brit Speak board.)
So there you have it. I like UK for the culture and the history, but I prefer Canada for family and friends (and I know the school system there better than here, and I like it there!).
Any questions, thoughts, musings? Beefs, complaints?
Cheers,
Morgana
