Not sure about that Lou, but the closest suburb Southall is now a Pakistan strong hold. All the shops etc are now Pakistan aowned and three years ago the police raided part of the suburb. Appartenly there were a group of about 7,000 trading in Pakistani money, so of course paying no tax. Many of them work at the airport as cleaners, baggage handlers etc.Quote:

I think I'll have a pork chop(per) for my supper tonght.
JAE
That cooking on the floor is very common amongst migrants. Not so long ago I had neighbors from Iran who did such. On the day their home caught fire the fire chief investigating was told that the two young kids in the family started it by playing with matches. The chief was not fooled cos as he told me later the fire ring in the middle of the room was surrounded by pots and pans.
Oh and they don't eat pork cos their jealous.
Interesting comments re fires in houses etc for cooking, many Aboriginals do that still to this day as they are used to cooking over real fire. Who is right & who is wrong I do not know however maybe we should not be giving them all mod cons & trying to design the houses to suit their needs?
Was in London recently went to Finsbury Park with some friends & saw all these round burn marks in the grass. When questioning it was told it was the Arabs living nearby who did it at the weekends. + worse they apparently use the fencing wood for their BBQ fuel, yer got to laugh??????
