That's what I love about the UK, neighbours are always willing to grass each other up.

Report em see what happens, as for foreigners in the country as long as they speak our language in front of us there is no problem, the most annoying thing i always seem to come across is the bloody polish speaking in gobbledy gook to each other, they could be saying anything. But i also think most vital tests should be taken again, such as English and driving because i often follow polish number plate cars and they are very drastic in the way they drive.

EDIT: Obviously all IMO

Do they have valid insurance? Do they even have a valid visa?

Get in touch with immigration at the same time!
They more than likley have a genuine work permit as they work for a big hotel around here that would not take on cash in hand illegals, not that i think they need one being part of the EU now.

I do think that we Brits are seen as a soft touch on anything foreign, we are so frightened to stick up for our values in our country. I'm not a big traveller overseas so I don't know how we fair in other countries but I imagine that we wouldn't get away with such things?

I can't see Iran or similar countries for example allowing us to build a Christian church in their country? Perhaps I'm going OTT now...

Just for the record since this forum seems to be in a period of quick aggressive responses - I'm not racist etc I have many friends and colleagues of various origins and I like em all - not sure if they like me though !!!
I dont think anyones points are meant to be racist, and i dont think anyone has thought that. Its about reporting people for breaking the law, just as i would if i knew about a brit doing it.

They do have too after 1 yr apparantly, which is probably something else i could get them done for.
So far i think they are:

Not paying tax,
No MOT,
Probably no insurance for the UK,
Probably no Licence to drive in the UK.

If it was you or me our car would be impounded and crushed, then an apperance in court.

I will be pushing the police to take action.

Might be worth the trouble because if (touch wood you dont) you ran into the car down the road and damaged your bike/car/yourself, you'd have nothing mate. Might even be worth tipping some little chavs off to rob the car and teach them a lesson lol.

I have concidered that, if the police fail to act on what i tell them, after writing to the CC to inform him his force is sh*te and that i will now be buying my next car abroad and therfore have no tax insurance or MOT because he seems to think its ok and couldent give a rats ar*e.

My next step would be to 'accidently' run my £400 rover (fully comp cos its cheaper than TPFT!!) into their car. Everyone is a winner i get £400 for a new shead and they get taught a lesson!!

Actually this has just sparked to mind, when cars are bought over here from foreign countries. You know when police check systems for correct owners and stuff on Uk vehicles, how do they go about it with foreign plates?

It makes no difference whether they are immigrants or polish or whatever, if you suspect a car is on the road illegally, report it. For the sake of anyone they might crash into.

What a lot of tolerant people there are on here.

Nobody on here has any proof that the folks concerned are doing it deliberately with an intention to flout the law. But that judgement call has already been made. I hope that come the day when anyone on here is accused of doing something that they haven't done that the jury will be more independent-minded. Has anyone on here read 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?

Plowsie, I have to say this. You should be ashamed of yourself in your view that 'the bloody polish speak[ing] in gobbledy gook to each other'. Has it occurred to you that they might think that we 'bloody English' speak in 'gobbledy gook'? And, you don't even have to crsoss the channel to find people who speak in a different language. Not 30 miles from where I live, there are Welsh speakers. And they speak Welsh not so's people like me can't understand them, they speak Welsh for the simple reason that it's their first language. Just like Poles speaking Polish. It's sad, to me anyway, that difference has to be riled rather than celebrated.

It really isn't good enough to try to excuse these sort of opinions by saying 'all IMO' or 'I'm not a racist'. Well frankly I think an independent bystander might form a very different view. To me, it comes across as xenophobic and bigoted.
