When you're in a town centre, better the devil you know than some rando chain. Last Starbucks I had was boiled piss, but who knows if EAT, Nero or Costa would have been any less diluted urinary tract scrapings.

The crispy bacon is amaze. It's like they cut off the meat and throw it away and then serve you the crispy fried fat rind. Even in Scotland we don't do this. It's the future!
Oooh. I did Calgary, Whistler, Banff (sp?), Camloops (sp?), Niagara, Vancouver and Toronto on a trip a few years back.
I wouldn't personally fancy Calgary. It's a VERY odd city. Apparently it's a new town and was purposefully built with little or no housing in the city itself, the VAST majority of the populace live in the suburbs and as such the city is dead and i mean dead out of office hours. I was a bit disoriented time wise when i got off the plane there so as we drove to our city centre hotel i thought it was about 6am or something. It wasn't until we checked in that i clocked it was actually 2pm on a Saturday. The place was dead and i am not exaggerating. It's a very US style city with very long straight grid roads. We went out at 3pm to find something to eat and we walked for 10 mins and saw something like 40 people and 10 cars. In a city centre. On a Saturday afternoon. In the summer.
It sounds nice but it was kinda post apocalyptic and a very odd feeling. I guess everything goes on in malls etc... In the burbs. Great for outdoor activities though and the oil money generates so much corporation tax that there isn't any local VAT on purchases. It also gets incredibly cold in the winter and most of the large buildings were interconnected by walkways because of it.
Banff was beautiful though, i could easily settle there but i guess it's expensive.
Whistler was a little touristy/apre ski but nice as well.
Camloops was also weird it was almost like a Nevada style desert town slap bang in the middle of a hundreds of miles of forest, very strange.
Niagara was bizarre. It was like Blackpool.
Toronto was a poor man's New York. Not much going on at night there either compared to other major cities in other countries.
Niagara is a bonkers holiday pier of a place, and aye, Toronto suffers from being wee NYC. Not sure either will be suitable for G considering he's on the opposite arse end of the country. What he should be doing is hunting down the X Files filming that's going on right now and getting himself a new job.
