    I guess you mean me? I think the racism is in the inference.

    I mentioned "foreign" because taxi drivers are bad (drivers) enough, let alone non-natives who possibly can't read our road signs, and maybe don't have British licenses (or insurance).

    Nobody is jumping to any conclusions: we're just saying 'yes, I think you should report it'. Actually.

      I seem to recall Glasgowdan claiming not to have any liking for his chickens recently but as he fought his corner (and lost) his sneaking affection for them became apparent

        I wasn't meaning to imply that evil had been done in this case. Just that I know that quotation (though obviously not who said it) and it seems to me it's better to do something than to worry that there's a problem but NOT do anything.

          Wasn't your comment actually, there was another one further up, although I don't feel very comfortable with "what do you expect from a foreigner?" type comments, however they are intended.

          I still think that a lot of conclusions are being jumped to and it's a shame that anybody need to be suspicious about anybody

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

            Sorry Flum, did comment that I wasn't pointing a finger at you but your quote seemed to sum up what was being inferred on other posts and it is very important to me to stress that evil is not the majority, whavever some would have you believe.
