I didn't say it was warm. It's just sunny. It's very cold. I don't really mind that though.

It's bloody cold in Brighton!
I've actually always wanted to visit Sweden. It's definitely next on my list of places to go.

You should, but in June or July! Santa Claus is in Finland during the winter also...

Believe me, i know
After ive made my millions

i plan on moving far away from this dump
On a side note its an excellent area for web development, middlesbrough, billingham etc are an haven for the web development industry and about 10 minutes up the road you've got one of the biggest web development agencies specialising in eCommerce development in the country, whom i did a short stint at before my current roles.
Shame the towns a hell hole full of smack addicts

Do Americans not say 'whilst', 'rather', and 'shall'? haha, I've not noticed that!
In my experience...Americans speak American English. Words like 'whilst' is English proper and not used in every day communication. Canadians speak American English but learn British English. Shows to go you, how strong of an influence the media is...we learn to spell words like Colour and yet 99% of the time I would say I spell it color.
I watched an interesting documentry a while back about the variants of American English and popular culture, especially that of California English, surfer speak, valley girl, etc. Then I look around, here in the center of Canada and see teenage girls and women in some cases speaking the same valley girl English and boys speaking gangsta' or surfer dude, with words like "sick" or "phat".

haha no, I just searched 'British' and that lovely lady came up.
Maybe I should change my username to something a bit more friendly like RobinC. Which is what I use on most other forums.
