This is the most british-ish written post I have ever read, and now my internal dialog is stuck on the british accent setting.

Ill never forget my great aunt amy (my grandmothers sister, they were both canadian by birth in 1923-time)

"Grandma, I didnt know Amy was british!?"

"Neither did we dear, neither did we"

(My great aunt would talk with a British accent)

Family fact - my uncle (Amy's son) went to school with Bill and Paul in Seattle and we have a pic of them together...

You should reconfigure that dialog to Welsh ;-)
Back then Canada was still a Dominion of the British Empire so they were British, at least legally. That changed with the Balfour Declaration of 1926.
