    Quite agree. What those people really want is Britain with sunshine, At least they don't demand the locals change their ways. No one demanded they start closing their bars at 11pm and not letting families in.

    There are no English ghetto's in Spain, English people still wanting their fix of Branston pickle is hardly the same thing.

    What do you class as a ghetto? I'd suggest it's people from one ethnic group of nationality congregating together and living as if they were back in their native land. And therefore there are plenty of ghettos.

    ghetto
    1. a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group or groups.
    I think you'd be hard pushed to find many people in Spain who thought they were living in a ghetto. There are obviously English people living in some parts of Spain who can't be arsed to learn Spanish and are rather partial to egg and chips, but that's hardly the same as people moving here from Pakistan, only dealing with other Pakistani's and often trying to live by their own countries laws rather than the local ones.

    Ethnically, the English and Spanish are pretty much the same, Ghetto's are generally segregated on religious grounds.

    Are they? Were gehttos of America based on religion? I know you got Jewish ghettos but the monumental influx of Europeans of the same religion saw them living in such arrangements.

    I agree about laws, I dont for one minute think English emigrants are trying to live by English law, but how prevalent is that amongst immigrants here anyway?

    I did say generally, they're not always.

    I think it's probably best of we don't stray into Sharia Court/Jewish Court territory on here.

    What the **** are you doing with your dogs on the beach like that without leads on?

    How could you be so irresponsible??






    They're clearly in danger of being attacked and carried off by a ****ing Seagull! If you had a lead on them, you could pull them to safety!

    A bloody seagull swooped down on one of my dogs the other day when the wife had him out. He wasn't as brave when he goes haring down the garden at any that have the audacity to land there. <laugh>Got that bad last year that myself and some neighbours had spikes put around the chimneys to stop them nesting as they are very protective when they have young ones.

    My wife and I had to cancel a trip to Oahu and Hawaii this summer due to some family issues which cropped up. As somewhat of a replacement, I have a "baseball" trip planned which will take me to three MLB ballparks, Citi Field (NY Mets), Yankee Stadium (NY Yankees), and Nationals Park (Washington Nationals). These will bring my lifetime totals of Major League ballparks to 47, including 29 of the 30 active MLB baseball stadiums. Toronto's will be the last, and with Atlanta opening a new ballpark next year I hope to pick up both of those next summer to make my list complete.

    Have any of you been to all of the Premier League grounds or close to it?

    I've been to all current PL grounds except Swansea and Bournemouth.

    And all Championship grounds except Cardiff and Burton.

    I'm not sure how I've ended up avoiding Wales for so long.

    I think I've been to all the League One grounds, except the current Wimbledon one and most of League Two (though my memory's crap and I'm not sure on some of them).
