It's okay, everyone knows that we Canadians are mostly former Brits anyway (except for the ones who aren't).
And besides, with our long, cold winters we have lots of modelling time

Well done, Richard. I suppose you had better get one of those executive hobby benches in the penthouse.
To prevent being called an 'expert', screw something up good every now and again.
