It was Polish and Lithuanian in my area, its what was the final straw for me. When I saw the local shop with Polish writing over the windows etc I felt an alien in my home town. Realised the town and country I knew has long gone, consigned to memories and history.

Dont think that she'd able able to do that, what with the current UK income requirements for visitors to get visas , especially as my rental payments are cash in hand with no  record

Let’s call it how it is. It’s not a joke. Having 20,000 posts doesn’t excuse the title of Troll no matter how he may want to dress it up. If a newbie had persistently posted this kind of drivel he would of been jumped on, reported and deleted by now.

20 quid a week? This aint 1986. As said, you are full of it and no doubt just doing this for your own self amusement. Sad way to be for a grown man.
