I think the North American/Canadian meaning of professor may be different to the UK one...

I'm not quite sure what to say about this really. Maybe because I am one of those people that has gone straight from a BSc to a PhD. What makes you think that the quality of PhDs is going down because of people who don't have a masters degree? Going straight from BSc to PhD is more common in the sciences.

I agree that PhDs are shorter over here. Yes, we can get a PhD in 3 years although it's usually closer to 4 by the time the thesis has been submitted. Do you have to take classes in Canada? I'm just wondering because I've heard other people talk about taking classes and that's not usually a requirement here. I'm not sure how it works in other parts of Europe.

I got a leather handbag and a bright green leather filofax from my mum.

I know I should be greatful, but... I really don't need a leather handbag to take to uni (which is what she bought it for). It doesn't even fit my lab book in it, or my lunch! My rucksack is so much more useful for that...

Same goes for the filofax. I prefer my much cheaper black diary from whsmith....
