Whenever my ex' Irish relatives used to visit, they were astounded that we from Toronto thought nothing of heading off by car to Montreal (which is where all Torontonians have to go to have fun) for the weekend.
"That's about the same distance as London to Glascow!", they'd say in astonishment. Seems that's a big trip round about those parts...
cheers, frank

A friend of mine's parents had some relative coming over from England for a visit. This was when travelling by steamer was more common than by air, and the relatives were going to be landing in Halifax. The friends parents recieved a wire asking if they could meet the relatives on a particular day, when the ship arrived. What with being in Regina and all, they wired back, asking if the people in England could meet them instead, as they were closer.......
