Differences...

Just a few differences we have noticed so far between London and Vancouver...
  • Lettuce is called salad
  • Dessert is called pudding
  • Ranch dressing does not exist here
  • Tax is included in every price
  • Traffic lights go green, yellow, red, yellow, green…
  • Eggs are not refrigerated in the grocery store
  • You need to wash your eggs before you use them (I found a bloody feather on one of mine)
  • Agents are middle men between you finding a home and a job, and are everywhere
  • Subway has corn as one of their toppings
  • Spandex and nylons are in fact acceptable, appropriate, and popular pants
  • You don’t have to tip bartenders
  • A red circle means do not enter, even if there isn’t a line through the circle
  • The word stove does not exist. An oven is the baking part and a HOB is the top part, and they can be separate.
  • The word 'hot plate' does not exist here
  • You can take your drink outside of a pub if you want to have a smoke

  2. You can just pick up a copy of the Loot or go to Craigslist...not all people use agents. I never did.

  3. And don't forget about what they call certain articles of clothing...
    a Jumper is a sweeter, a Mac is a raincoat, Wellies are rainboots and my personal fave - pants is underwear. I could never quite catch on to that one when I lived there and everyone at work always made fun of me for it
