    A native born has the right to work or not, even in a world with more now than people, there will be able bodied people that would prefer to live on handouts

    I'm assuming I'm misunderstanding you because that reads like your saying a native born has the right not to work and receive handouts while immigrants have to work but have no right to receive the benefits they contribute towards?

    Legal Immigrants should have full rights, illegals however should get nothing. A lot of legal immigrants will go onto welfare mainly because they will only be able to work basic jobs because of lack of education or language barrier, it is why points based immigration is gaining steam. A lotlot illegals do work and pay tax, a lot
    do not pay tax. I can not see an option in making a native born work, unless you are willing to strip benefits to them

    This is the internet mate; where people just make **** up, then find a source to confirm said **** which, however, remains ****.

    Hence the phenomenon known as Trump, or, a lunatic in the White House.

    With Brexit in a shambles, perhaps it is time to postpone our exit from the EU and focus on education and the NHS. These areas should be the Government´s joint number one priorities. To achieve this will require considerable investment in terms of improving the salary structure, training, and working conditions.

    One of the best teaching courses that I have ever attending was while doing the TEFL Diploma in Bournemouth where the input sessions were set up in such a way that the course leaders were actually modelling various teaching apporaches. Recalling my teacher training days years ago, I cannot recall this happening, or perhaps I was not paying sufficient attention.

    And yesterday I learnt the Catalan Word for eggs - eos!! Heuvos in Spanish. Here, where I live in Mallorca (Esporles), Mallorcan (a Catalan dialect) is the dominant language on the Street, whilst Palma de Mallorca where there are lots of people from other parts of Spain and Latin America, Castellano is the main language.

    Feel you there, I employ people from Bogota, Medellin, the coast, from the coffee area and now I have a couple from Venezuela escaping that nightmare. all have different sayings and different accents but thankfully the same words for most things, although the girl from Medellin keeps saying and writing sanduches for sandwich

    My Mrs has been here since 2004 and still does that sort of thing. Mostly getting similar sounding words like tired, tidy, tight mixed up.

    I can tell you the Catalan for a peach, if it helps Ides; presic (melocoton in Spanish, as I'm sure you know).

    It is because the emphasis is on the first part of the word and in connected speech, it is difficult for speakers of other languages to hear the second part as in tidy, and with tight, the "t" will not be said when followed with a Word beginning with a consonant. Example: He´s a tight ba*****.

    Interesting Imps. Do those words tell us a story?

    She’s always tired because you always make her tidy up and you’re too tight? <laugh>

    Now you are really opening up a box of new challenges. How many times do we hear these words in a football commentary?

    Offside: That was a tight decisión.
    A new signing: Well he´s a tidy, compact player with good technique
    Losing: Well after their excursions in the EL they are looking rather tired.

    Leggy: Previous meaning was to refer to someone with long attractive legs. Now to refer to someone whose energy is spent.
