I agree with Muffy - there used to be the practise of pregnant women returning from all parts of Commonwealth and USA to give birth here - was cheaper - friend did all the way from Aus to N.Ireland and birthed twins in June 1958. Returned to Aus in 1959 and came back to give birth in August 1960 |

Believe me, I am very tactful! Don't mistake directness with lack of tact, lol. |

I do agree with most of what you say but i think that some times it comes across in a manor that can intimidate some people so think that you could be a little more tactful in how you put your point over, |

Absolutely. In the same way that I am entitled to point out the nonsense of it. All I am saying is that it would be better to do a few seconds in finding out the truth rather than propagate a racist myth, whether intentionally or otherwise. |

Eldrick, Just because it took you 4 seconds to find the link does not mean that AnnCardiff should have to follow you example before posting some thing she saw, |

Yes it was nonsense. Total nonsense. A case of putting the wrong slant on an everyday thing that happens all over the world for reasons that are evident or findable in seconds using.....google. |

SueMaid, Well blow me down, I used to fly regularly and never noticed that was happening, so it must work the same as any company who are exporting/importing goods? |

We reclaim the VAT at the airport when we leave the UK just as people do when they leave our international airports.......or is that different because I'm not Egyptian or whatever......sheesh!! |

I don't think any one is actually blaming immigrant workers |
|||
|
Eldrick | Report | 22 Mar 2012 00:09 |
Its always the same. Immigrant workers get the blame for eveything. Well its a croc. If it wasnt for immigrant workers we wouldnt have an NHS. And to talk about special tax offices at Heathrow - well, theres a tax reclaim office in every airport in the world! To insinuate that its for Egyptians to rip us off by tax evasion is utter unbelievable nonsense! |
