The lesson here, is to save as much as possible and then go to a '3rd world country' and spend it.


A chap I knew saved all of his £1 coins that he received in change and put them in an empty gallon squash container. He was nearing retirement age and he bought a house in the back end of India for £6000 and said that his pension would enable him to live like a lord in India.

Sorry, maybe I am missing something, but in what way do they 'pay reduced rent'? And how are they exempt from coucil tax, and how do they get tax relief? I'm not necessarily saying that these things aren't true, but I've never heard of this before.

Apologies, not exempt from council tax but get relief on it. They can claim back a lot of tax on goods. They have a card that can be used when making purchases.

And of course eastern European girls coming over have raised the standard of the prostitution along the south coast and kept the rates down. OK there might be a little bit of illegal slave trading going on but I think thats a price well worth paying for some tasty whores.
As long as their pimps keep them dependant on coke and H I see no problems occuring in the future.

There's talk of letting them join the army too, given the shortage of boots on the ground.

The British foreign legion. A great idea, let them serve for ten years in exchange for citizenship.

They make good soldiers too, the Poles.

I went intoa Tesco store recently and a polish registered car was having 3 litre bottles of Tesco cheap cooking oil put into the fuel tank so presumably they ran the car on that. One chap hada large trolley full of bottles of oil another was pouring it in and a lady was putting the empty bottles into another trolley. cost about 25p per litre.

Last time I checked, Tesco's cheapest cooking oil was closer to 70p a litre. It also does in your engine unless its an old, large diesel or heavily modified.

Nothing illegal about it assuming you use only a low amount (think its 2,500 litres) a year.

Deisels were originally designed to run on vegetable oil. It was only later that deisel derived from mineral oils were used. The 2,500 ltr things is to do with mixing your own bio-deisel not strictly to do with using pure vegetable oil in your vehicle.

True, although it would drive up the price of nosebag, so it's not all good news.

Originally means >100 years ago. You will kill a TDCI, TDI, MuliJet, JTD - anything based on Bosch or Fiat technology which is 90% of diesels on sale now - if you use vegetable oil. Firstly because they rely on the silicon in modern road diesel for lubrication and secondly because the vegetable oil will clog the injectors - theres no vapourisation anymore.

I wasn't are there was any specification on what you could do with the 2,500 litres, though?

Dont worry about that the Romanians are doing us proud with their smuggling.......................

My mate once brought back an ounce back from Holland hidden in a Kinder Egg which was rammed up his arse.................................. and it wasnt even Easter.

I was looking into this a while ago, CAT does a course on making it, and I'm fairly sure the 2,500 limit relates to manufacture so if you were to use it direct then it may fall outside the scope of the legislation. No doubt they'll say you paid no duty though and as the legislation allows you to manufacture duty free they may get you on that.

bollocks.

they may have some exemption from VAT in the past and when here as a tourist, but as Poland is member of EU thats doesnt work any more. council relief is only to students and single mothers and probably few other groups, certainly not to able bodied worker of any nationality.
