    When I get up to go to the shop in the morning to get some stuff for brekkie and the shop is closed 45 minutes after the stated opening time.
    When I go back to the shop when it opens and there are a group of people blocking the door who are clearly high as they have the appearance of The Walking Dead extras without all the eating people.
    When you eventually get into the shop and the crossaints are still the crusty stale ones from yesterday.
    When you go to queue and you are behind the aforementioned group who are pulling together pennies , buttons and items to barter with to buy tin foil, smokes and a packet of sausages.

    But it's all made worthwhile when a larger lady of the herd (who is not wearing shoes) grunts the word 'have to work' and sprints away at speeds Usain Bolt would be proud of while her friends start to roar that she is in no condition to work.

    Breakfast should always be bacon, eggs, sausages, buttered toast (with REAL butter), unlimited quantities of tea (with cream) and fruit. I'll even add beans if the idea of having beans for brekkie tempts me.

    A couple I came across on youtube. They live in Cork, the woman seems lovely, the bloke is a complete bellend. He talks like Jedward.

    They just had a son and named him Eduardo. All fine and good, until you say it in a Cork accent.

    Christ.

    Wrong. Breakfast should be raisin/apple/custard danish. Coffee Cappucino or Latte. Plain/fruitscone, if more appetite.
    Bar of Chocolate as a vice (like morning cigarette for smokers)

    I like my tea with a bit of half and half once in a while. Most times I drink it black .... no milk, no sugar.

    Half and Half is sold in a 1 litre container (10% dairy fat) and is half milk and half cream). I'm not 100% positive but I think it only exists in Canada.

    You put cream in your tea? That IS something I've never heard of before! Cream in my coffee alright sometimes, but tea? *scratches head* :pac:

    Trivial thing that annoys me? Every time my wife is making tea for herself she'll ask me "tea or coffee?"...

    Coffee, it's always going to be coffee, it always has been coffee, for the last 17 years it's been coffee, and yet still she insists on "tea or coffee?". Frustration! :(

    Actually while you're here, one question I always wanted to ask a Canadian, but never think of it when I meet them -

    Do they sell 'Canada Dry' over in Canada? Because it was sold here in Ireland for a while, well, a long time ago now actually, and I could only get it one Summer, a really hot and sweaty Summer, and there was nothing like sitting up on top of a galvanize roof, roasting the back off yourself, and cracking open a can of Canada Dry... :D

    Somebody better not pip up 'Sure you can still get that in SPAR here". I've searched, in vain :pac:

    Yup. :)

    Only gays are allowed to drink it though. Canadian law.

    You know the old story about Brendan Behan, upon arrival at Toronto, sees a sign that says "Drink Canada Dry", and wit that he was, says "Ah sure, we will give it a try"

    Oh God don't. I'm a veggie and whenever we stay in a hotel that has one of those buffet style breakfasts I'm a nightmare. It's not fair to those of us with zero willpower to put so many pastries out. I wanna eat them all:(

    There is an old joke between Canadians that if you leave a tap running while you're drinking a glass of water someone will sooner or later say "Are you drinking Canada dry?"

    I've yet to hear an answer to it....from anyone. :D

    The most common answer is NO followed by a dirty look and the guilty party quickly turning the tap off.

    I don't know what TTTAYP1 means but if you mean this Canadianwoman (below) that is me. I couldn't get my old account here reopened when I wanted to come back. The powers that be told me I would need to make a new account.
