I'd posited in the past that I'd be happy

(Canada) if it were somewhere close to me in Ontario (read: Sault Ste.
Marie, maybe Sudbury) and I'd help work at (but in a more limited
capacity) if those planning it actually wanted to hold it in a "populous
area" ;-) say, Toronto / Ottawa / Oshawa.
But Sault Ste. Marie, ON is much more of a trek for someone from Britain
than Wall, NJ is.
Sault Ste. Marie... sure. It's a smallish town, which is why I was being
somewhat facetious when I mentioned it... ;-)
However, Toronto or Ottawa might be much less of a trek, for two reasons:
1) Entirely possible to have a non-stop from London to Toronto/Ottawa;
(I'll admit I don't know how far it is from Wall, NJ to a major (NY?) airport)
More importantly:
2) Canada is still very much affiliated with Brittania (Confederacy?
Protecterate? Allz I know is the queen is on their money, but not on our US
coinage... ;-) and customs might be a lot less sticky for dragging machines
across the pond to Canada vs. the US, especially since 9/11.

Being facetious again, I could add a 0) If he did come to the Sault, he
wouldn't have to worry about cab rides or lining up reliable heavy-duty
transportation for his UK machines - Methinks my '04 Avalanche should
handle the task nicely; and still transport 4 adults comfortably...
