The shops are full of Christmas tat
Flashing lights and Santa hats
A snowman that say's 'Press me here'
And coloured bottles full of cheer

It's interesting, don't you think, that two of the relatively newish countries (US and Australia) which were formed on the back of the destruction and relocation of the indigenous population by immigrants, are doing everything in their power to stop this reoccurring by keeping tight control of its borders?

Quote from: Michael Rolls on Today at 03:31:24 AMgood for them

I agree.  What I don't understand is that the Frogs, their police, don't seem to bother to try to expel them.  After all, landing on the French shore without approval could be seen as OUR men arriving illegally.
Perhaps they're a little scared of us!

The best thing would be a full alliance of all European countries (including us) who suffer from third-world invasion, joining together to drive out every illegal invader, but where to send them?  Obviously, no third-world country wants them.

Ah, but I have a plan.  We pay the Frogs handsomely for sending them to us, so why not pay a poor third-world country that same money to take away all of our illegals?  The sort of money we are paying out would be like a fortune to some third-world country.  I'm sure they'd jump at it.

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:18:56 PMOrbits phoned me late afternoon and said my window squirter pump is old and getting worn out now. 
He said it  needs a new one really.
They are going to fit the new one, and bring my car back to me in the morning.

Have a guess approximately  how much?

Pumps aren't all that expensive but labour is. I'd guess £65 but it depends on their hourly rate - I'd guess an hour + £15 for the pump.

Either you must be keen on washing your screen or the car must be old. I've never worn one out.
