And the Welsh - what about them, eh?

"There's lovely"

" By yer"

"B'there"

Odd lot.

Actually, many of the welsh are very friendly & kind. Good at Rugby too. Big lads.

There was a 'poem' type of thing, that I read a very long time ago that starts:

" I come to england poor & broke, go on dole, see labour bloke"

Heard of it?

So what is it about?

Hey, if anyone in the UK gub'ment is reading in...

Watch out for a run on sales of kayaks, rowboats and swimsuits on the French coast...

That's how I'd do it. Launch at dusk and be eating beans for breakfast.

Now there's business opportunity..........

Ballox...can't seem to post the darn thing.

Pishes me off that these hard working crims, can't make an honest living out of their profession.

I had one last week telling me how to "Whizz Through Checkout", then invites me to change my password.

Dunno if it's fake though. Any thoughts...?

Do you mean that you like to wear Dresses?

The British empire plundered their colonies for centuries . Makes sense people wanna go to Britain , cause it's there that their riches is. Payback time.

If even walking through the chunnel is impossible , then only one option left : swim 20 km...

The BIG problem with Thailand was and is , that it was Never part of The British Empire, had it of been part, then people here would know about democracy, would know how to run an election. would know how to run a law abiding police force and know how to train their armed forces... They might even know how to build a road properly .. The Romans taught the British. The British taught the world. Answer me one question... what is the language of the world..? And why would that be...

It's Spanish.

I suppose he will get legal aid, free accommodation etc!

And a new pair of shoes.

Yea, & an invite to one of the 'Cities of Sanctuary' - load of lefty nonsense!

I'm an American and I advise everyone never to do business in Thailand.

Investing in Thailand doesn't have anything to do with the Trafficking report. Who cares,? It's about money.

The problem is trying to do business in Thailand. The goal posts are constantly changing. Who do I pay this month? I think it's getting better but years away from becoming a place to safely invest in.

Take a look at the housing market in Phuket for example. It's a disaster. Nothing goes up in price. The market is at a standstill. More inventory coming on the market daily. Everyone I know who owns, wants out. The laws in Thailand won't let you own what you buy here. You have to leave the country every 90 days. Now, why would an American invest a penny here?

That's just the housing market. Doing business here is far more complicated.

I love living here. I have a dream retirement life. Invest here? No.

Yes, it seems that almost every week some more Condos appear offering an 'iphone 6' or whatever as an incentive to buy.

I don't understand though why the people who put up the money to build them, don't appear to notice that the housing market not good.

Can you explain that?

And somehow, this thread about the UK, now has a post making yet another dig at Thailand.

Back to the OP.....

As Brit D says, the guy's made it to the UK already, but why didn't they just send him back to Calais.

I'll have a read of the Daily Fail, that'll give me the answer.

Thank god I was brougjht up with quill and parchment,those were the days when it was great to write a letter ( in joined up writing ) and wonderful to receive a reply,in great anticipation.I have fallen foul of the IT world,and fallen into the trap of being a moron,yes I admit it,you have won dear IT bretheren.The only satisfaction is that I know,along with a few elder bretheren of what you are missing.

There were no censors in personal letters,apart from war time.Now you poor serfs do not know what real freedom is.

"Back to the doghouse (or frog-house) for you! I thought you loved me? Why? Why? Oh the agony! This is too much for me" cried Miss Piggy.

Is this a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing?

What on earth do you mean?
