Looking over ya shoulder eh!With the lack of investment so far I'd be glad of anywhere bar a relegation struggle, sick of looking over my shoulder.
Why did you move to Canada?
Only jesting marra..

I'm on the other side, he's about a five day drive away from me. Can't complain about coming here, the country has been good to me although you never forget where you come from, I've still got my Geordie accent after all this time.

I thought of moving in the seventies,I was an engineer in the Merchant Navy and had visited all the Commonwealth countries as well as the USA in fact all the usual places to emigrate.
I really liked South Africa and had an application form for a job there,then the Soweto killings in 1976 along with a hot summers leave made me change my mind.
I struggled in the early 80s but from 1985 I always had a decent job and could afford to retire at 60 year old with no mortgage and a holiday apartment on the Black Sea.
