that's like us- Winter and Road Construction. Thanks to Chinook
winds in Calgary, we frequently get both at the same time.

That's good to hear- while I understand flashes can do some damage to
delicate paintings, for the most part, photography isn't going to ruin
anything.

It does when you post something someone else doesn't like- then every
word must have a [citation needed] tag appended, and any cites you make
will be reverted under some obscure rule, because they are "not
relevant".
Oh, and if it's a webcomic. Then it's speedy deletion.

In that case, it would be nice if the haggis was locally made. I think
that the bad reputation haggis has in my country is because of the long
route it takes to get to us- limiting our options for it to pretty much
canned, and only a few brands.
As an aside, I was surprised to find out from a friend who is working
down in California that it is really hard to get Mars bars there, unless
you go to a specialty British Foods shop. I thought they were
universal... go figure.
I wonder what level of universality of cultural artefacts exists in the
BGC world?
