Jane10 Fri 08-Sept-17 12:54:07

Would you believe that in 2004 I was put in a police cell in Bulgaria ( only for an hour) for the heinous crime of not being able to prove where I had been living the previous week.
In 2006 we were driving across the border between Romania and Bulgaria and the BG border guards demanded to know how we lived in BG. I told them: it's non of your business and they stamped our passports that we had to be out of the country in 2 days, we lived there!!
We have been refused entry into Serbia for no aparant reason.
I have not just visited Russia but travelled around. There is nothing you can tell me about this mindset.
We came to the conclusion that most of the problems we had came from shear envy of our lifestyle and that we were British and all the freedoms that that title means

Will it mean I can't travel first class ?

And keep your Party Membership card ready to be inspected too.
The onboard refreshments sandwiches will all be cheese.

Trains will run on time and seats will be found for all, but be sure to have your ID papers with you, they will be checked, and if found wanting, you will be chucked off at Crewe.?

I'll work harder (animal Farm)

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 12:05:19

Little Georgie would have free school breakfast and dinner

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 12:03:41

.paddyann, I thought he had a great welcome there , sorry,

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 11:52:05

That was surprising I thought Paddyann I had heard about those statements, ie, Scotland is a region I wonder why he thought/said it.
So Balmoral is out, he could move into Sandringham, plenty of grounds to turn into allotments there.

paddyann Fri 08-Sept-17 11:35:58

dont know where you heard Scotland loves Corbyn Annie but you heard wrong,his recent visit was ,according to the press either a raoring success ..he had massive crowds of up to FIFTY people or it was a disaster because he knew so little about Scotland ,like the fact we've had our own systems of Law and Education for several hundreds of years and several other facts like we're NOT a "region or country of England" Mr Corbyn is most definately not the flavour of the month north of the border

Little Georgie will def get his eyes opened in school and see " the real world " and its fine for the first year he would get into the dining room first so would almost certainly get a proper meal . Kate and her mum would fit in just perfect with the mums and grandmas in the playground.

very funny:-)
and a complete load of codswallop of course.
I can't ever imagine addressing Anniebach as 'comrade'

gillybob Fri 08-Sept-17 11:11:40

You know what, I think there might already be one in there but I'm sure they would get some kind of grant to help out if there isn't. It's right on the bus stop too so ideal for popping into town for shopping or for Kate to go to her maternity appointments .
Will def give my dad something new to talk about ..... " guess who I was talkin' to at the bus stop? Turns out he was off to the doctors as well "

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 10:47:08

Perfect Gilly , wonder if queenie and Phil will qualify for a stairlift

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 10:45:31

Three years ago my brother and nephew spent three months in Russia. The differences in wealth and poverty was a shock

Expect Emily Thornberry will move into St James Palace and Abbot into KP.

Who will get balmoral? Corbyn I expect , out of the way and he loves Scotland and Scotland loves him

gillybob Fri 08-Sept-17 10:44:54

Theres a huge house on the estate where my 2 youngest DGC go to school. It's 3 LA houses knocked into one to accommodate a huge family . I believe it's empty st the moment and would be ideal for the windsors and their increasing broods. A perfect school on the doorstep for little Georgie . The uniforms quite relaxed and he won't have to do ballet either .

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 10:39:40

Exiled to a sink estate?
John McDonnell will move into Buckingham Palace.crown

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 10:32:21

Oh yes lemon, most definitely.

Will the Windsors be exiled or shot ?

gillybob Fri 08-Sept-17 10:30:58

Oh without a doubt. There nothing more hypocritical than a "true" socialist living in their million £ home who sends their child to private school and eats quinoa.

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 10:29:55

And as I live in council property I will have to vote as the government demands - as happened in Venezuela this year

My nephews will have their fathers properties taken from them

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 10:26:08

Will some of us be more equal than others? ( Animal Farm.)

gillybob Fri 08-Sept-17 10:15:37

Things will definitely be different for me Anniebach . Our small business ( like thousands of others) will have undoubtedly folded. I will probably lose my house too.

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 10:10:44

When the Corbyn-MOMENTUM party are in no 10 things will be so different.

Will we address each other as comrade?
