I presume you ask for a receipt with the same vigilance for any plumbing or related work done on your home. You wouldn't forego that for a cash discount surely.

Because they are prepared to do the job for the money instead of claiming benefits.

I'm beginning to understand what is going on here now and am seeing the light.

Darkies are killing the previous workers, turning them into chocolate and then virtually forcing that chocolate down the throats of innocent white people in some sort of perverse cannibalistic ritual.

This is why they are talking in their 'native tongue' whilst serving us, they are actually reading out some bizarre incantation to try and take over our minds.

I've had just about enough of these darkies, how dare they have jobs, work long hours, sell chocolate and petrol?? How dare they speak any other language in the presence of higher beings such as ourselves?

We need to get these darkies out now! They are taking all our jobs ,when they aren't all claiming benefits that is. Hold on, now I'm confused.....

I obviously go to the wrong petrol stations. I have never had, or been offered a discount for cash at a Shell station !!

Don't understand why that is "racist", it was a fair question ?

So if you had you would have considered it, is that what you're saying? Only you seem to have completely ignored the question asked.

This is capitalism like it or not. Perhaps communism would suit better.

Learned behaviour. Vast swathes of the population have been coerced and socialised in to believing that a criticism of the dysfunctional and or undesirable effect of multiculturalism is 'racist'. It's absurd and dangerous and needs to be debunked. That Tony had not criticised, but merely observed, serves to highlight how deeply ingrained said behaviour has become.

Yeah I bought a Gadaffi watch on ebay just to prove to an interweb forum I worked there! LOL.

Anyone want to buy my Gadaffi watch BTW? I might sell it.

It's a genuine Chinese time-piece emblazoned with an iconic portrait of the man himself.

Debunct was just about passable, disfunctional certainly wasn't.


Edited to say debunct is no good either.

Very annoyed today at Total when I put 40 pence in the air gun thingy and it didn't work. I mentioned this to the cashier and he said it was 50 pence minimum. I said so you changed it recently and he said no it was three weeks ago....said it like only an idiot would not know that. Tosser!

So I went and bought a foot pump out of principle.

I should have said you need to pimp more creme eggs before scamming motorists on air and water. If you are quick it was possible to do all 4 tyres with 20 p. WTF is 50 p all about?!

Hi, Maz. Do you mean from the perspective that through the 90s and 00s immigration was key to the country's ability to sustain growth?

Yes it is almost impossible to be a social conservative without fear of being accused of being a racist (enemy of the people).

It's almost Soviet. Debate is almost impossible.

I can buy that argument to some extend. I mean if you grow the population by 1% through immigration it is logical that the economy might grow 1%!

But I'd argue what is the point of this pyramid scheme?

From my POV I couldn't care less if the economy grows 1% through immigration, it does nothing for me wealth wise, just upsets and destabilizes social/cultural norms that I would like to retain.

James, no my point was that in a capitalistic society it is the survival of the fittest. Madscoob bemoans the loss of indigenous owned businesses and the proliferation of foreigner owned outlets. This cannot have happened by accident but through either the shrewdness and hard work of the incoming owners or the lack thereof from the outgoing ones.
I'm not surprised that foreigners are having such an easy time 'nicking' jobs. Just going by some of the threads recently about people not wanting to work for their employers, not working their notice and moaning about holidays and time off. In time the incomers may adopt some of the loose attitudes of the natives. God forbid the natives may pull up their socks and think screw you this my country and I will do what it takes to make a meaningful contribution.
Immigration is needed to a point but not to the levels we've seen.

Did you not read that recent report that Muslims are most likely to not work and be on benefits?

Also are you now some sort of anarcho-capitalist? Who presumably believes in nothing but the free flow of Capital and Labour, damn any social consequences! Let the market decide!

Admit it - you're just prejuduced against AnytheJocks!

Btw, "peely wally". Not sure how it's arrived at, but my mum says it (you probably wouldn't understand her and I don't mean she speaks Punjabi!). Means "very pale/white", in reference to skin tone. Not usually required for forecourt attendants.

This is hypocritical given you've been allegedly working abroad yourself. You can't have a differing criteria for others and then move the goal posts for yourself.
I however agree that when in Rome.......

What debate?? Do you call your rantings about being somehow force fed cocoa based snacks and having to shell out 50p for air debate??

Obviously darkies can't be held accountable for discrimination against whities as they don't even have a token whitie

Oh and they have been done by the police for credit card fraud with it in the local paper etc yet Shell haven't replaced who owns the stations or works there. Fantastic.
Bravo, if I were you I'd remap for Tesco 99!
