well time will tell, as for spot the filipino, that might be a game we will be playing soon here in the uk, spot the filipino with a workpermit, as the new immigration rules start this year... you can only send what money you have left, with everything costing more here, there will only be less to spend back home, english or not, it's the same for everyone
as for foreign customer services, some companies here have started to employ english workers again, because brits arewith trying to understand them...
