Same here.

And all the Indians I worked with at Accenture voted Brexit.

Hmmm... I wonder why...

To be honest, I was flabbergasted they even had a vote (and sc clearance .

So the Indians you worked with were actually British. They either had ancestral passports, where born here -moved back to India to be educated and moved here again - , or just moved over as adults and nationalised hence they haven't lost their accents.

Maybe you should talk to people nicely and with interest - food is always a good starting point as they love (laughing) at non-Indian people trying to cook their cuisine - so you can find out their backgrounds.

Feck they have over a billion.

Oh and that's one of the reasons I voted Remain.

Aye, AE is the champagne capital of Britain. Footballers' wives territory no question about it. Phil Neville's house was for sale on rightmove a couple of years ago, complete with a custom cloth on the pool table with Neville 18 on it.

Still for sale quackers!

Yes, I always suspected there would be some trade deal with India that required us to issue lots of visas to Indians so they can come here to work.

In fact I read somewhere (and it could have been here but more likely the DM) that the Indian govt is actively looking at offloading a few million of its citizens.

If the British govt does this it will be a fatal mistake. Well, as they say, you reap what you sow

Have to admit I went to a running shop in Alderley Edge and that out Knutsforded, Knutsford, or out WAGGED it. Two lambos, one mclaren oodles of Evoques and Aston Martins (and this place is tiny). Me and my lad had a laugh at the many daft bints in high heels, orange skin tottering about with small dogs in handbags.

Could we keep this thread on topic please.. or about boobs... rest of the banter can go to General.

Thank you.

Yes, I posted earlier in this thread about my experiences working for a large consultancy where this was exactly the case.

Once the Indians move into middle management levels, a lot of these organizations will become closed shops.

Saw exactly the same thing happen in the Middle East in the banking sector. When they call the shots, they will only ever recruit from their region.

They were called the Indian Mafia with good reason.

The locals never suffered though, just western ex-pats really. The Gulf Arabs aren't a bunch of self hating, hand wringing pussies and have governments that actually put the needs of their citizens first.

Can't ever see that happening here

Yep, Rolls Royce dealership just up the road too. Proper Cheshire Set territory. If they ever fixed the M6 properly I might be able to see less of it.

Certainly is. Cheshire WAG place, McLaren dealership, etc but there are some nice places to eat, used to live a few miles away.

Oh, is there a town called Knutsford?

I only know the services. Used to get stuck there all the time hitching down from Newcastle back in the day...
