Immigration in britain

[irishtorag]

Welshmike I totally agree with what you say and where your coming from,

its probably as bad here with the young Irish or Irish tr------ler causing most of the shit.

Its also the lack of non national integration and refusal to really live in the community .

Like Britain we have all races and creeds some we would all prefer do without and for many a year the Irish were

the non national everywhere but a certain section of the Irish community "ok boss" caused havoc and still do.

Is it not also true that lack of discipline and respect from Younger generation is as much to blame for the chav like society

now?

Like your neighbour that imagines she is a breeder with a born right to take everything she can and an attitude of what is mine is mine

and what is yours is also mine to use and keep.When I was younger a neighbour would have stuck his boot in yer arse for even crossing

his gate without permission

 

anyway like most I could Rant all day and probably inadvertently cause insult to some of osf members in doin so

Mike, out of interest why did you fit the exhaust for her in the first place if she is such a scummer and her kids are like that / damaged your car? Or was that afterwards?

[irishtorag]

if I was to answer that ,I would probably say mike is like most of us and doesn't know how to say NO!

also maybe he is commonly know as the salt of the earth as in help anyone type of guy

 

I know I do same and often feel let down after it as 20 fags or packet of sweets make you feel good in a way

but they never have the thought to do it hence feeling deflated

As this is a car forum these are my thoughts about immigration. This country was ruined when they let in the likes of Datsun. fiat. Volkswagen and the like in, as we once had a great car industry and now have only a handful of true British car makers left.

I tend to disagree there. When the japs and the Germans came they were better cars (for the purpose of what a car is) than anything we could produce at the time. They may not have had the same design ethic, but they were so reliable

Agreed, most home grown designs were poor, many from both an aesthetic and a technical perspective. Companies within companies that didn't communicate and actively competed against each other, think BL allowing Triumph to develop their unreliable V8 instead of using the proven Rover V8, or MG using the heavy straight 6 Healey engine for the MGC, again instead of the Rover V8 (which did eventually find its way into the B anyway).

 

The union led work ethic of "if in doubt strike" was probably the final nail in the coffin of the British car industry. Coupled with reliable well equipped Japanese cars that started when it was wet.

I'll probably get flamed for saying this but I'm quite fond of 60's and 70's BL stuff. Maybe its because I'm of the generation after they were new. I look at them as funky, quirky little classics.

Would definitely buy an Austin 1100 or Allegro.

I noticed you didn't mention the fiats lol.

I'm not so keen on allegro's etc, but do love A30's, A35's, A40 Farina's etc. Also got a soft spot for a Marina TC Coupe, even though I know they are crap tbh ha ha

[mk2 v6]

Any rare coupe is cool

I agree, my first daily car was an A-reg Mazda 323 (in about 1993). My dad had always had Ford, Vauxhall and BL and the Mazda was years ahead - central locking, electric windows, good mpg. Best of all it was dirt cheap as it had been part-ex'd at the local BL dealer and they wanted it shifted.
