Let's all move to the Netherlands!

[HansV]

We definitely have less extreme weather (but some of you might find it a bit dull...)

[mishmish3000]

But if there's chocolate... but I might pass on the herrings...

[Rudi]

How about the Cannery Islands

[mishmish3000]

Are there Chocolate Islands???
If not, we could invent them.

[Rudi]

Chocolate volcanoes with marshmallow projectiles...Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

Let's all move to the Netherlands!

No need to do that.
Parts of Ontario are already the geographical equivalent of The Netherlands.
"The agency says the frozen ground is less able to absorb rain so localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible."

But we have milder winters (and cooler summers) than you...

I know
No one in their right mind would base their life in Toronto ...

You are just suffering from a bad case of Cabin Fever, Chris.

Just don't start typing "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" over and over. (The Shining)

So, you're there because of your left mind

[John Gray]

The only place is England!

[HansV]

Did you enjoy the storms and flooding during the autumn and winter?

[ChrisGreaves]

You are just suffering from a bad case of Cabin Fever, Chris.

Cabin?
CABIN?!
Haven't seen it since the big snowfall of 2013-2014.

This is grim.
I'm setting off for my morning stroll to get the paper, and I've had to dig out my cap AND my woolen gloves.

Closer to the truth than you might think, Claude.
In 1980 I met this Canadian girl in Paris ... so here I am.
God knows where she is ....

[GeoffW]

So Paris is where you left your mind?
