The Muslims do that virtually everywhere. Walk around Brooklyn & you'd think you were in downtown Riyadh.

It's definitely an Islamic noise! not a Christian thing, playing there services at stupid o'clock in the morning over South East asia. Think Wisbech is getting his religions confused!

You need to learn to read and not make assumptions. All I said was that I noticed a particular place being busy on a what I remembered being a Saturday and people then assumed ignorance. It may well be that it really was a Saturday and it was for some kind of kids party, or other event. It could be that my memory was faulty and it was a Friday. What it doesn't mean is that I am unaware that the Islamic holy day is a Friday.

It is very instructive how people have jumped onto a very minor remark and tried to blow it up into some kind of international crisis. Reminds me of Trump like diversion tactics designed to shift the focus away from arguments they know they have lost.

More excuses... You just can't stop can you...ok I get it. It's not the fact that you don'tknow much about Islam - it's because you have problems working out what day of the week it is... and if it makes you happy old boy I have lost... being senile is just part of growing up. so we'll leave it there - you probably need more time to repeat the same old excuses over and over.

I have a (I'm guessing a Pentecostal) type church at the end of my block (It's actually a kind of community centre)who make a bit of noise on Sunday mornings from 9AM ish thru midday, the rest of the week you don't hear a peep.

Oh but legally it does. For someone to acquire British citizenship these days costs a lot of money, requires a great deal of paperwork, proof of entitlement, proof of income, proof of an increasing competence in English and finally to pass the "Life in the UK" examination. Those things are intended to help the applicant achieve the things you want.

It has tightened up a lot in recent years but of course we can still do better.


Then we go & dumb it down by having Social security or goverment forms translated into multiple languages.
If you go & live in other country at least have the courtesy to try & learn the language, & before anyone pulls the old 'Well Brits in Spain don't bother' chestnut out of the bag that applies to them as well.
Imagine living in the UK for 20+ odd years & not learning English? Well this happens there was a case a couple of years back when a pakistani taxi driver from somewhere in the East Midlands was being accused of rape/sexual assault, the case had been adjourned 3/4 times & it transpired much to the Judges dismay & anger that they couldn't find a translator in time because the defendant couldn't (be bothered is my guess) speak a word of English !!!

Are you a Pussay sniper?

Do you have a specific woman in your sights for sexual enjoyment to obtain them as a trophy for sexual purpose with great patience and little skill for sexual execution of said target?

As your username suggests

Retiring is slightly different to working as a taxi driver for twenty years. In any case English is so widely spoken the requirement isn’t as pressing.
British retirees don’t expect the cultural values of those countries to be changed to suit them either.

British cultural values are far closer to those of Spain than they are to pakistan so very little adaptation is required but most Brit retirees abroad will want British food.

We are fortunate enough to have several overseas holidays a year and the majority of the villa owners that we rent from are British and speak the local language

Yes, you’re right but I was also meaning British people in countries where some of our cultural norms are either frowned upon or actually banned.

I don't know you tell me.

To help you out... I live in Spain and speak Spanish...so, that's one person.
