Know something, I once went out with a Filipena lady who lives in the UK, and she works in a care home, on shifts which would make many baulk.
As far as men was concerned, she was a right barracuda, the relationship lasted two dates before I got sick of being used as a free ATM/subject for her billions of photos to put on her facebook, but one thing was unquestionable - that she was committed to the old folks in that home. I saw her cut her day off short to go in because people were ill, and all she would have had to do was pretend her phone was off....but she didn't.

Same thing another ex (I know, I know) who is Indian. She is a staff nurse, and works mad hours (As many nurses do), and for her, sleep is something that happens "sometimes".

Did either of them complain? No, never as far as I was concerned. In the case of the Indian lady though, she and I never stopped being amazed at the number of people ready to give racial abuse, at the same time she is approaching them with a needle

Indeed Jimmy Young, you really need to wake up and smell the coffee. Plonker!
