I'd argue the term "livable wage" anyway because your government takes most of it in taxes. And here's a tip for you: Stop wearing white socks with black sandals! You look absolutely ridiculous!

>>I've been to the UK more times than I can count.

My first thoughts when I read this was how high can they count? I get the feeling that we are dealing with someone of, shall we say, less than average IQ who maybe struggles to get past 2 or 3.

My second thoughts were the same as my first.

Third two.

Errrrr ... what comes next?

Gotta admit though, they've got a point about the sandals.

White socks with Black sandals now theres a trend setter. [laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

Oh dear

I think he's definately got it wrong. It's usually black socks with brown sandles!

You all seem to have forgotten the string vests and knotted hankerchief on the head. Barbara

socks and sandals ! Well I'll give him that one he does have a good point. Think we should write in to 'ticked off' and tell them we are ticked off at waiters who moan about the minority, if they earn it they get it.
