this is a long story, but I will try to paraphrase,
once upon a time , i was asked by a spanish building company to attend a meeting that required my skills... ok i agreed to meet.
I turned up, in my working clothes, every one else was in suits and ties..
there was the building contractor, the estate agent that sold the house to the people that were paying the bills, and the "project manager" ..hmm i thought?
then there was the two really elderly people that were going to be paying for what ever was going on... I knew nothing at this time about anything that was required of me. However the builder man had already had a word in my ear that whatever i quoted, he wanted 20% for his office..
The plan was for an extension build of very small requirements to the house, plus landscaping.
the elderly lady took me on a tour, explained everything to me, whilst the "suits" brainwashed the owner of the house.
She was a lovely lady, and i could see that they were being ripped off because of their innocence and naivety ..
She said. because of the planning permission regulations, we have to have two big planters at each side of the door (this made no sense to me at all !) but luckily , she said, our estate agent can get them for us for €900 each
I thought, i can get them for you for just €50 each, and why would the planning office stipulate such demands ?
The whole deal stunk of rip off a poor british couple who are in their twilight years.... so sad
i gave my views, and advice, and then left, not wanting to be part of any of this.
Should i have informed them more of what I had sussed ?
or is it a case of "you mustnt get involved"?
three guys , english, irish and scottish, held prisoner by an african tribe, awaiting there morning execution.
All were given a last request.
the Scotsman said, i want the 25 bagpipe players, performing all 127 verses of "the flower of Scotland ". No problem replied the captures.
The irishman said, "I want Micheal Flatleys full 3 hour, full cast performance of Riverdance" It will be done they promised.
The englishman paused for a second. "what about you" ? asked the african tribe cheif.
to which the englishman replied "PLEASE KILL ME FIRST"
I am a brit living in Spain, yet i here so much every day how the UK benefit system is only for immigrants in to the UK. ?
weird i thought, and think. i paid in to the uk system for 22 years, and yet I am now entitled to nothing as i have been in Spain for 10 years... and yet...
mr and mrs synge,mihat micoat bang wallop can arrive in the uk , and go straight on to benefits, get a house, a phone (mob) and live happily ever after with their 12 kids, as the government will give them money for each kid they have !!
why is this going on ? i ask?
For years Britain has been what they call an "easy touch" as far as government handouts is concerned, and so it has been the ultimate destination for many foreignness..
however, the other side of the coin is the tax revenue that the real brits have to pay to subsidise the taking foreigners in the country.
i live in Spain, this situation will never arise as the spanish are too "switched on to this parasite situation", and yet my country just hands it out, and taxes the uk people in return ! we need change... im not a racist... but a realist..
why is it that most news reports of terrorism in the world are mostly about Islamic terrorists. ? is it because..1 they are the most popular,2 the only ones? or 3. the most hated ? Or all three reasons..
I have my opinions.....what are yours ?
