Absolutely 100% no. What exactly would the alternative be? What makes anyone think it would be better than what we have now?

The school was set up on a disused airbase. Kids were sent there by relatives who genuinely believed they would have a better life in another country, and usually as a result of their parent(s) being unable to look after them due to divorce, death, or other family traumas. There were some pretty...

Out on the Stirling Castle, back on the Edinburgh Castle with a brief stop in Madeira in each direction.

The life-threatening disease was probably Bilharzia.

Fairbridge Memorial College which was set up for British child migrants as part of the Kingsley Fairbridge scheme, but which also had a number of children like myself whose parents had emigrated to the country. A very disconcerting environment.

Pretty much all good memories. Living on a ranch in Africa was an experience never to be forgotten. The journey there and back - two weeks by sea from Southampton to Capetown followed by two days on the train to Bulawayo - was memorable. The only less than positive memory was boarding school...

Where in Rhodesia did you live? I lived there for a year in 56/57. Lived on a ranch in Shangani and went to school in Bulawayo. Unfortunately never saw the falls but plan to visit sometime soon.

I think in future you shall be referred to as Guinness Boy Esquire.

And by the way I still don't understand why you refer to me as goldstone? My NSC name is Goldstone. No @. Thank you.

And I will gracefully accept the result of this democratic process ..... unlike all the folks on here who refuse to accept that the British voted to leave the EU.

OK, we get the Ukraine flag banner thing. All very nice. But NSC is supposed to be mostly about football, and particularly about the Albion, so what about the banner featuring a photo of the Amex scoreboard at the end of the Man Utd game? Something we're unlikely to ever see again in our...

Correction, ALL governments are masters of spin, deflection, lies, etc

There are plenty of job vacancies at present so they should not experience a problem finding work. The only problem is that most jobs outside the civil service require people to work for a living and this could come as something of a shock.

First of all, I have no idea what you mean by "fishing". How about trying to speak English? Second, we could manage with the number we have today, or less, if people were properly managed and worked the number of hours specified in their contracts. Just because the passport office (your...
