    Garden Court Transport. Based out of Cornwall Ontario with branches in Montreal & The Canadian Laurentians. It’s, as it’s name implies, a transport company. In recent years certain Danish interests have acquired a majority or minority shareholder status. Not to be confused with GCQ® which is a Quebec based internet magazine.

    Have no idea. I put my faith in the good folks at the MUHC. I’m sure they’ll do wondrous things.
    Actually no net surfing, my gym teachers were all Welsh. (Pace Martin Lewis & Tony Moss -Davies).
    There’s a road in Montreal called Fernhill. I do believe Mr. T wrote a poem to that effect before he took his swansong swandive at the Whitehorse not swansea.

    There are teachers from Wales every where Campbie!Not a big Dylan Thomas fan here soz.
    I meant I’ve been surfing the net and saw you are a singer, we could form a male voice choir at the RAH!!!Did your Welsh teachers teach you singing too? The Welsh rugby team are touring Canada at the moment mate.

    Only just found these Mcgarrigle/Wainwrights they’re great.

    If you don’t like DT then there’s always Mrs. Thrale, the amanuensis and then some to Dr. Johnson.
    I’m no singer, more like a sewing machine or is’t sowing ? Nonetheless my valley was very green. Say hello to Lou Ellen LLewellyn. She’s an old fiend .
