Cool From the Great White North

I'ts been a long time since I was in Accy ... or my old home in Clayton ... I left in '67 and ended up in Canada ... living in Kingston, Ontario (where it is - 17 bloody cold degrees today). Looking forward to getting a little way back to my roots. Life here is not bad ... you can get decent fish and chips at the Pilot House pub, made by another expat from Preston, and 24 hour football on cable, most of the English style pubs sell John Smith's and Bass (but no Thwaites') ... anyway, good day eh, it's time to go check my igloo and drive the Polar Bears away from my garbage. Eric.

Hey Eric, glad to have you aboard Accyweb. I'm down under from you (~1,000 miles?) where it has warmed up to ~28 degrees. Enjoy and welcome. Off to put on a bit more sunblock!

Brian

Well you're close enough to good ol Napanee, the centre of the universe. I left Snuffy in 68 but I mispent my youth at the Con Club in Accy.

While it's definately been cold today it's also been sunny with a brilliant blue sky. I take the cold and clear sky over dull grey and wet anyday.


I drop by Kingston for a draft Guinness occasionally but my local is the "Loaf and Ale" here in Napanee. You migh want to try Napanee Fish and Chips too sometime.
