    Feb 1st - Canada day

    Today's a special day for me, 33 years ago today I arrived in Canada. I recall on the plane flight over I was looking so forward to play in mounds of fluffy white snow (we didn't see much snow in southern England). So disapointed was I that the only snow I saw was the black stuff on the side of the roads . I always take the time to be thankful of my new home. So the first Happy Canada day to me for this year.

    Congratulations Grant!

    But I am reminded of that great George Best quote about his decision to play for the Vancouver Whitecaps... When asked why he said...

    "Because I saw an advert on the side of a London bus inviting me to Drink Canada Dry."

    Grant,

    I'm sure the people of Southern England also have a special place in their hearts for February 1st as well

    I don't think so, I've never been asked to come back, not even for a visit.
