Canada was the first country to include the warning on cigarette packs that smoking causes a lack of sexual ability. Not coincidentally, Canada also has the lowest smoking rate in the developed world.

Oddly enough - at my wedding, all but a couple of the Canadians smoked, none of the Americans smoked, except me. Small demographic I know LOL And I mean the people who attended were smokers, people weren't actually smoking while we were getting married!

It is yeast extract, tastes kinda beefy, that you put on bread/toast. Australia has a similar product called Vegemite. You either 'love it or hate it'.....I am definitely in the 'love' bracket!!!

Although I'm not from Engalnd, there is a lot of British influence back home in Sri Lanka!

When I was new to Canada, I have had people look at me in a funny way when I've asked for Sellotape...Tip-ex.... :p
and I still can't understand why Colour is spelt as Color or Cheque as Check....!!!! It is soooo wrong!!!! ???
