As well as older blurb re Notices Issued under Fema.

To-days Herald page 4 says the breakdown 'country wise breakup of the persons to whom these notices have been issued, is British-8. Italian - 1 Swiss-1 and Russian-3' -

J5 & Milwart - 2 against one is not fair. :thumbdown:

I would have though any rupee would be welcome in this Country, it was probably written by one of 'them'

Especially when people see 'Slumdog the Millionaire'. Congratulations to them for the 8 Oscars.

"NEW DELHI (Re**ers) - India and the European Union should aim to sign a free trade pact by the end of this year to keep investment flowing and counter the global downturn, Britain's Business Secretary Peter Mandelson said on Monday.

"The EU and India should call the deal what it would be -- a confidence-building economic stimulus package -- and sign it before the end of this year," former EU trade commissioner Mandelson told a business conference.":blink:

Perhaps if any of you drug takers out there fancy following this up ? ( Keep off the Night Nurse Noni !)

If Mandelson is keen for EU trade with India then he MAY BE KEEN TO LISTEN TO US :curse:
any thoughts ?

Indeed! I thought 'Mark Spalding' may be a 'nom de plume' or 'a pen name' - for Ervelle Demenzez perhaps. . . . . . . . . . .

I have just been on the Herald letters page and I can't quiet believe what I read, I hope you are right and that this is not a brit that has written this.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 
I doubt very much it is a Brit who wrote it. The tone and perspective suggest an embittered Goan to me. Not a Brit moaning about his fellow countrymen. More like a taxi driver or restaurant owner who has not managed to fleece such people since they know well not not to pay exhorbitant prices. In other words such long term stayers cannot be conned easily, that is the root of this bitterness.

However it's interesting to note this anti British campaing has started up yet again. Seems to me it was around this time last year it got going too. Expect it has been prompted by the very negative publicity about Goa in generl which is generally in most reports you tread these days. It's the same with the "Opionated" column today too. Whoever wroe that is Embittered and with a big chip on the shoulder.
