they did? They got caught?

[Tilly2]

What would Lady Bracknell have said?

[Buenchico]

A typical Daily Mail report: "Bogden Croitor of Stanmore, London, had been given permission to live in Britain".

Total rubbish. He can't have been given permission to live in the UK because he doesn't need it. Latvia has been in the EU since 2004, so he's got just as much right to live here as any British citizen does.

Perhaps we should be querying why someone who has a perfect right to live here can't be joined by his immediate family, including his wife, irrespective of their place of birth?

[Svejk]

I still think it's a right carry-on, Boo.

Oi Bogden, you coming down the pub?

I'll have to check with the old bag.

[Svejk]

She won't mind. Unless it's an over-nighter.

[Tilly2]

Was it a portmantow, I wonder?

[Daffy6543]

I agree with Buenchico.
I have a very nice Latvian couple living next door to me, the man of the house is forever doing renovation/DIY (my only issue with them).

[Svejk]

I thought it mildly amusing which is why I put it in Chatterbank. Oh well, we're all different, I suppose.

[Orderlimit]

He could be join his immediate family but he would be the one who would have to move

[Tilly2]

Well, I made two daft comments. I did try. Did you get the portmantow bit? Did you geddit?

[Tilly2]

Thank you, sweety!

[Svejk]

x, lol.

[Tilly2]

That makes 200. I am so pleased. Mwah!
