and there as you say are plenty of those and on the increase. As a mother I cannot understand why they don't want more for their children. I want everything for my daughter, every opportunity, every experience available to her.

I read an article recently that mentioned the slitting of the human race well into the future and how there will be a super race who will be healthy, live long, tall, intelligent etc and they will live well, then there will be the other side that live completely separate from the others, they will be small, more animal like and will have bad health, live in bad conditions etc. I would say looking around the UK...... we are well on the way to that being true.

I miss chavs chewing gum at me and saying 'oi, wot yer lookin' at?' I also can not stand immigrants coming to the UK and milking it for all its worth, I believe they should go back where they came from. In fact it is such a big problem in the UK that I have decided to move somewhere else.. but no I am not an immigrant I am an EXPAT because I am British, and I am upper-clarse so I shall live in Jumeirah/Emirates Hills.

correct W10 but I am curious as to what class expat thinks I am as I don't live in Emirates Hills. Your right Lexy.

Just like you're doing in Dubai then, only you'll never get residency.

Oh Please, it's getting like the jocks and the geordies here....
