As you are clearly British, Geoff, are you ever coming home? My wife's uncle moved to Canada postwar and becake a professor in the Uni in Ottawa I believe. During the war he worked on naval radar as a boffin. He was last over here years ago, and has never felt the need to do so..I think we have seen him twice in 20 years?
Well, let's square this up... I WAS born here in Canuckistan, but yes, the British connection DOES draw me, at times very hard. Just not sure I could ever afford either your climate OR cost-of-living!

BTW, My mother was born on South Street in St. Andrews. This was confirmed with the Registrar of Fife County when I was last in Scotland staying with Nigel. I have a photo of myself outside that house.
