Sad to Say:Another Brit Murdered

[Pete/London]

Dear Doc Alan, I would advise you to leave immediately for the Philippines and leave me the keys to your coastal pad

Actually Brits are low down on the list of foreigners being killed in the P.I., its seems to be the Indians who suffer most from violent deaths but its just a case of being careful in a poor country.Just seems to be a run of foreign crime victims at the moment.
I have met lots of West Indians who for years have dreamt of retiring back in the Caribbean but the reality is they are a target for robbery and burglary when there and have given up and returned to UK.

Give me 6 months (to return, not my life expectancy ! ) Might also be safer for me not to attempt to visit all my filipina friends

Perhaps the Indians are targeted so as to avoid paying the extortionate loan + interest?(said in jest but so was many a true word!)

I never thought about plain clothes Police in Philippines, so thats a good point,

Never saw an official one except when he wanted to extort money from me..
Actually,thats a fib.. once my Mrs did call the cops from home (luzon in province) when we had an intruder in the house and they were there within 5 mins..
I would elaborate but the wind has just picked up sharply and nearly blew over my vodka and sprite..
Big Typhoon about to hit here by the looks of it..
Cheers,
Fred.
