Just a thought.

we are leaving because (your fav Ed) IMO this country has become a sH*t hole and a shadow of its former self!

I very much doubt it, they have been here a year or there abouts, so unless they have a limited green card??

We've been leaving since the age of sail... Britain's a nation of emigrants. When people talk about the rising trend in emigration, they always do it from around 1996- ignoring the fact that the early 90s were one of the lowest points in UK history for emigration. A young professional in the UK is now more likely to remain in the UK than at any point since the founding of America...

I will answer the original question, yes this does annoy me, because:

I am also a Johny foriegner, US by trade and to the best of my knowledge follow all the rules. Me (and my loverly wife) have 2 cars and the SV and pay all the necessary dues.

Just for the record and I'm not necessarily complaining but I even had to sit both my car and motorbike practical tests over here even though I've been driving/riding for 24 years.

Yes Europeans have to get a UK license but they can get them transfered and do not have to sit a practical test so there's no excuse. As for insurance and if they do or don't have it well if it's the latter then there is definetely no excuse.

As for tax here we go again just avoiding the system I guess and don't blame anyone for wanting justice. We all pay enough tax let alone paying for others who feel they don't have to.


Edit: Just curious who are the ones who voted YES let them drive around totally illegal, or maybe this was a mistake?

I am not rising to the bait Ed!! LOL , but the short answer is yes so do i!!

i have to echo what ED has said, the intollerance and ignorance shown on this forum at times is astounding, , not just this thread but many others with people bandying about innacurate statements as facts, then these becoming truth because there repeated often enough........starting a statement with "im not a racist , but" is more or less saying i am , but i dont want to appear to be, its not down to race.

i know its just "the internet" and its not real, but the amount of crap that gets sprouted on here at times appals me, ,

theres probably not a single person on here who supports the reporting them route who doesnt on regular basis abuse speed limits or anti social noise with there bikes yet they selectively choose to "report" someone for a transgression that theyve deemed to be unacceptable.

yes illegals illegal and all that , but tons of vehicles on the road are illegal, are you going to start going round picking every vehicle and reporting them for unfounded suspicions, good luck

let me know when youre up my way and ill put my baffles in and make sure i display my tax disc properly, best not take any chances.....

of course all this is just my humble opinion.............

Reminds me of a friend whose parents were polish. They would use the language to publicly talk about others etc. Well one day Ella and her mother had gone back to Poland to visit family and mum forgot herself and started to talk about the fat woman on the train. Yes you guessed it, in Polish in Poland. Apparently she got a reminder across the face not to publicly slag people off.
