Joe..Theres a few things that perhaps we should get straight...Originally Posted by joebloggs
patriotic fred
most of us talk about going living in the phils, but most of us have only ever been for a few weeks each year, going to visit and living there are 2 different things, ask them again after they have been their for months once the honeymoon period has worn off and when they can't find jobs and their living on their savings, most of us are not loaded like you fred
what's good about the UK, as others have said, the NHS, TV, Benefits system, my misses feels safer in the UK than the phils, she likes the weather in the UK, the scenery in the uk, internet connection we'll have a 50mb connection next week fred
, pay - I earn alot more in the UK than i could in the phils and my misses when she finds a fulltime job she will get paid at least *10 the pay she would get in the phils. you can drink water from the tap
yes even the police . not much poverty here compared to the phils - social services, etc,,,,
why don't you ask some filipinos who live near you fred, if they want to come and live in the UK, see how many want to and why...
and if the uk is sowhy are people still risking their lives sneaking in lorries to cross the channel ?
and things can only get better in the UK
First thing is that it makes no difference to me where people on this forum choose to live or for what reasons..If you are happy where YOU are then for goodness sake stay..Horses for courses.
In regards to your comments about me being loaded..Now cmon Joe..You really have no way of knowing my personal financial circumstances and dont forget I was a Painter and decorator for the majority of my working life so where do you think all this cash is coming from?? A lottery win perhaps?
I wish it had of been as it would have saved me a whole load of work load!!
We all know that we cannot earn good money In the P.I simply by being employed here,but that doesn't mean that you cannot earn far more than the average UK Brit if you know how to invest savings here wisely..
I am quite certain that there are many Filipinos near me that wish to live in the UK and help take even more jobs from those already living there and good luck to them...I just feel lucky that its not me..
Drinking water costs us 75 Pesos per week ..On top of that our general water bill is never more than 150 Pesos a month.
Child benefit?and if the uk is so
