Just kind of curious because I received a phone call asking if I would go out there for a 1 year contract.
And perhaps things I should know about how not to piss you guys off like probably most tourists do.
Unlike the American’s, in Canada we don’t feel compelled to add “New” in front of city names. ![]()
I wish I could edit. Remove the apostrophe.
It’s a bit cold and wet from Oct to April. Most people, especially further up north, are very friendly and will make you feel welcome. Relevant to this site, there are quite a lot of tall guys (many of whom I have dated! lol).
Where in England will your contract have you based?
I might be visiting in June for a wedding.
It better not be cold and miserable! I have lived in almost constant sunshine for the past 20 and a bit years, I don’t think I could handle the motherland if the weather goes all bleak.
England is a nice place if you go to the right place. I like living here. What part of England would it be?
Because I do not work for the company at this moment, and the acquisition is still being completed, I don’t have a lot of details. What I do know is that it’s a fairly large company and likely to have various locations throughout the country (possibly near by countries as well).
I think people are friendly wherever you go not exclusively in the North. People in big cities can be a bit blunt but they don’t mean anything by it.
Oh, this might be like the last trip I was on, where I have to relearn English. LOL
Everyone in the North is a friendly miner with no supply of electricity in their dwellingplace. In the south, they are stand-off-ish and shoot large mammals for sport. Both sorts are fond of the pub. So take your pick. If you’d be here for a year then half of that would be taken up by the initial wonder at cultural differences/scones and crumpets. If you’re used to living abroad/flexible/adaptable then chances are it’d be great? I still dine out on the ‘London experience’ when I’m down.
Haha to be fair it’s going to be a hell of a lot better than going to America. Plus the pubs are great
also I’m here, that makes it a worthwhile experience for anyone.

Lol if only we could still use these differences
There may yet be people who fit this description but there is a hell of a variety between, including Northerners with electricity and openminded Southerners who detest shooting anything.
