Seems it's hard to put a figure on it ........depends on what data is chosen

Depends where you live.

If you live in Stamford (where I worked yesterday) you would probably like it and have the odd immigrant working in the local area. I would have liked to stay there longer, it was lovely.

If you lived in Derby (where I worked last week) you would probably not like it and have gangs of non english speaking men roaming around. I made my 2nd man wait in the van and couldn't wait to get away from the place.

gangs of non english speaking men roaming around.

It's like that here.

It's like that here.

What country are you in?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Portugal.

 

[Ian H]

Same here.
The women are as bad, talking in a foreign language
At least the cash points give you a choice of languages.

And which country are you in?

 

[EFLImpudence]

If you put the cursor on the flag, Ian, the country pops up.

Then, of course, in the Summer there are gangs of English speaking men roaming around.

That's worse.

I'm on my phone, I did try and press on it but it didn't work. Bit of a shocker that I didn't know the Portugal flag

Immigration; yah either love it, or yah hate it, but you never change your mind. Now wait for the usual insulters start contributing.

The flag option doesn't work, but Bing maps come up if you click on location, but it can't find anywhere called "retired to" for some strange reason.

Nor the French one.

Damn!! Showing my lack of knowledge again!!

According to mine EFL's location is: Malcolm's Driving Lessons in Oldham - Retired

It was suggested when I moved, not to just put Portugal as people asking in the Electrical Forum might be wary of accepting advice from someone in Europe and think I did not know about the British rules and regulations.

So tried to show that I had just moved.

Immigration to work is good. Immigration to welfare is bad. How you coerce people towards one and not the other is the hard part!
