So ? What's wrong with that? gets you out, socialising, family outing and the big globe has got wonderful blue lights to give you pleasant surroundings .. Doesn't make you any worse a person than the ones that are attending church.

Does seem sad though that some of the Asian women will come here and be cocooned in their own little Asia and never really integrate into our society due to language problems. How can you if you can't communicate !! Always find it endearing now when I listen to Asian teenagers with a strong Lancashire accent .. brilliant. Some of the little ones though do speak English albeit with an Asian accent which is probably from their parents; expect when they start school this will finally be polished off.

Can observe that lots of the Grannies still can't speak English, but do you not think that as the Generations move up .. this will phase out, or are there still lots of immigrants coming that can't.

Think the Eastern Europeons will be more keen to learn our language.

Hey, Lampman, never seen a road sign yet in Polish ! Where are they ?..
