    Councils struggling

    Davie, do you not think the councils around the land are providing adequate support for our cheaper imports already?

      Yes but I assume they moved here for better job prospects and standard of living.

        I think they are providing more than adequate support...but I believe charity begins at home and we have thousands of homeless we need to look after first.

              Remember, these people pay taxes and will fund your retirement, build your roads and houses, staff your hospitals, make your sandwiches and pick your fruit.

              Honest.

              Yours,

It continued resembling a sprinkler system. I rang he said in a very eastern EU voice (hadn't spoken much at visits as he errrrr couldn't converse very well in the Queens) I cannot fix it and promised my 100 notes of the realm back. I got another, English bloke, he said the rotor arm was cracked, changed it in 5 mins and didn’t charge us. I haven't actually heard any good stories, are they contacting this guy direct or is he talking out of his backside? Got the 100 quid back.
                Interesting anecdote. I wish I could meet you. You must be a barrel of laughs.
