I wonder if it's a regional thing? In my (admittedly limited) experience the British Asian girls were beating the local talent off with a stick. Still - I got to go to a couple of cracking weddings in the end

I think I read another piece about the plight of British Asian women struggling to find husbands because parents would rather their sons married women from home, not women that have grown up exposed to western culture.

Yes Gonzo they get saddled with hick wives and an average of 12,000 quid. That's not bad money for a shag and a slightly guilty conscience.
These men (and women) really should know better.

What about the blokes being saddled with wives from the subcontinent to keep their family happy but not really wanting to be stuck with someone with no understanding of life in the west? I think there was an article about that on the BBC website at some point in the last nine months.
One time last year I was in a takeaway in East London. When I arrived there was a local girl in there with her new imported husband. She was of Indian origin but had clearly grown up in East London. She was confident, bubbly and gobby and struggled to keep the veil over her face while her rustic looking husband didn't really know what was going on.
After they left the (Kurdish) takeaway owner was incandescent about how disrespectful she had been to her husband but I felt sorry for her because I wondered how long her new husband would put up with her behaviour.

Definitely the wrong kind of "much cheapness, plenty quickness".

Think of the damage to the environment, all those flights, all those jouneys. The carbon footprint must be as big as a yetis.
The Indian government were right to tell us to stop eating meat, they should tell us to stop flying in to bone their birds as well

It's all part of the greater good of globalisation.
In the old days these girls would have to pick someone they knew from a nearby village, but now they can get fooked over by some coont off the Internet from Britain.
That's progress!
