as is becoming the norm, certain parts of london are being flooded with foreign money, and foreign residents. this is certainly the case where i live.
a few years ago, a house in my road was purchased by a russian oligarch and his wife. ever since then, the building has been is a state of repair/renewal/demolition/rebuild with skips parked outside permenantly, scaffolding, tarpaulin and workers rushing around like ants at a furious pace.
and now, it has all come off, everything has been removed and a new interpretation of the building has been revealed.
and this week, an envelope with a note was put through our letterbox from olga, introducing herself, her husband (an international businessman who spends most of his time abroad conducting large business deals - her words, not mine), and her little boris 9 i think its a son as opposed to anything else).
nothing too dramatic here, in fact all very cliche, until ....
also inside the envelope was a questionnaire asking us to provide loads and loads of information about ourselves including:
number of people in residency
is the property owner or rented
since when
what do we do
where are we from
and a series of yes/no questions
and finally about hals an a4 page space for any other useful information.
so i asked my wife to check with other neighbours whether it was just us who had received the letter, or everyone and whether other streets had also. she asked practically everyone in the area, and most people said that they had received one, but that nobody planned to provide her with any information at all.
it's always been a quiet residential neighbourhood, where most people just get on with their lives, without knowing who lives next door. and thats how most people like things to be, and want things to stay that way too.
now i know that some people will say that she is just trying to be neighbourly and wants to integrate, whereas others will say she is a nosy cow and should keep her head down and be quieter that her workers were, and start keeping the area cleaner than her workers did. hopefully, no more empty energy drinks, paper cups, mcdonald's wrappers and sandwich boxes will be left around, as has been the case for some time now.
be interesting to know who her husband is. defo not abro. |  |

I used to work with this couple who were famous for trying to snare new starters at work drinks. Modus operandi was getting them pissed and offering to take them home at the end. We use to nickname them the Hamiltons. |

Attention please.
It looks as though some may have interpreted the slogan 'take back control' to mean ordinary people taking control, whereas it actually means millionaires (domestic and foreign) taking control.
Thankyou for your cooperation in this matter. |  |

Ha, you joke but you never know with these Russians! We had a Northern Irish guy come over to work for us in Mallorca with the plan of eventually bringing his Russian wife with him in a few months when her job in the UK ended. End of the first week and she came over to meet everyone on a Friday and we all as a companywent out for drinks. Everything was delightfully friendly but somewhere between me leaving for food and returning to the bar a couple of hours later, she was going round proudly declaring to everyone that 'fcking is better on coke' and that people should 'come join us for a bit of fun'. I think most of the bar were offered a threesome with them that night including the company director.
The poor bloke resigned on the Monday morning |
Would you know where he went, sounds like a good company man, might be interested in offering him a job..... |  |

It just needs a good krank up. Or words to that effect. [Post edited 20 May 2017 2:32]
