dunsbyowl Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I used to live in Welland, Ontario and I now live a couple of miles from the river Welland in England !My parents emigrated and gave it uo after 5 years moving back to Sheffield, for which I will be eternally grateful?At school we played Baseball, ice Hockey and Lacrosse - which is a girls game, unless of course, you are playing with a severed enemies head! I never saw a football until I was 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmontonowl Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Mick, you've got no sense of adventure mate. There's nowt wrong with trundging through snow and ice for 6 months of the years in -30 temperatures. You can wear t-shirts year-round here too, it's just you need 16 layers of the thingslol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
