I sometimes wonder Arthur how you manage to live in such a mixed area as Hounslow, a rather, err, multicultural borough of the largest city in Europe, and hold views more often seen in small towns.

Reminds me of the last time I was dragged into a discussion with my grand mother, her confidently assuring me Polish claim all their taxes back when they go back home and stubbornly and vehemently refusing to accept that they claim some taxes back because they haven't completed the full tax year so were overtaxed as PAYE assumes this and anyone on PAYE that leaves the UK part way through a tax year does the same.

She has, however, spent all her life living in semi-rural Warwickshire where the only non-white faces are behind corner shop counters.

Go figure.
