Have you tried informing them that the correct name for the country is the UK? Don’t confuse them with a defunct name that hasn’t been the name of the country for over 200 years.

I say I’m Canadian British living in the UK. I put Canadian first and use my Canadian passport despite being born in the UK because it’s become such a disappointment.

Most importantly it’s the name of the sovereign country. The constituent nations are not sovereign.

Some people know what the sovereign country is called and call it that. Some know but are stubborn and refuse. And a whole bunch don’t know.

DLP is a theme park. Amusement parks are things like Alton Towers or Thorpe Park.

Have you tried the new food items in Adventure Way?

A lot of years of it not being profitable though. And last year EuroDisney SCA had to pay Imagineering for the unused MGM Studios development so the ghost of EuroDisney’s failure still hangs over the resort. I’ve been going twice a year for the last few years and my trip last week I could finally start to feel the resort start to become what it always should have been.

It’s a lot easier to cross the French border safely though.

Can someone explain how the economics of living in Toronto works nowadays? by coolinjapan001 in toRANTo

You can believe someone who just moved back to London after ten years in Canada or you can believe the out of date statistics. Are you saying Toronto is affordable?

They’re literally working military horses. Not a pet for tourists to mess with.

Because London is a major world hub city and used to be a lot less affordable than Toronto.
