Haircut

[Louis the fly]

Yesterday my wife wanted to go into town to shop at Asda and I needed a haircut. I found a shop where you could walk in without an appointment, the barber was Turkish married to a Thai, his two assistants were Polish. I am not here to complain, they were all happy, friendly people who provided an excellent service with free coffee thrown in.
I live in a small place where the only migrants we meet are from the South of England who come here because you can buy a large detached house cheaper than a London broom cupboard. We just have to accept this is face of Britain today, although I could not go back to living in a city where English is a second language.

In Boltonistan English is the last language. about the 34th
Never hear a word of English spoken around here, just the languages of the Khyber regions and eastern European. I am a minority in my own country.
This is what my family and relatives fought and died in two world wars for???????

We get the same problem in the South of the South Louis, they sell a flat in London and buy a hotel over here, feed the visitors on frozen carrots frozen brussel sprouts, cheapest chicken for Lidls etc, moan like shite about the Island, mind you they get the same retort every time,*the same bloody ferry that bought you here will take you back*, makes us feel better, kt

At least it's still referred to as The Isle of White.

[John Albert Evans]

Theres time yet, just wait till some minority group think the Isle of White is racists and needs changing, just give it time.

John.

PS. You will find a lot of incommers will agree.

We got arrested by the Cops in Boston Mass, for relieving ourselves against the wall of a wharehous, The Searchlights came on us and "Freeze, or we shoot."
They had a stake out on that Wharehouse, we ruined it,
Now The cops took us one at a time to the car, and "Spread`em" hands on the hood to be searched. Geof, from the Isle of Wight went next,
A BIG Black Cop towered over him and said.l "Where ya from?" Geof said "Isle of Wight,", The Cop hit him over the head with his club. AARRGH said Geof, as a lump appeared on his head, "Ya trying to be funny wise guy, " said the Big cop. `No, its in England the Isle of W. I .G. H. T. not White."
.
The cop then let him go with a very sore head.
Ya gotta be careful over there.

I wonder if that was Geof Burnett ??, Geof is now retired, spent the last years in Esso as a company AB, was on the last of the coastal tankers before they finally folded, kt

[Captain Kong]

Hi KT
That was Geof. Nice guy, and a good funny mate. and some good times there. Liked his ale like the rest of us.
Give him my best wishes if you see him
My Brother John also sailed with him
