Where on earth do people like Tom Wilde get their ideas from. Do they close their eyes when they walk down the street.

Richmond is a case in point. In 2 years Richmond seems to have become the favourite abode of eastern europeans. 50% of the conversation aound you, in the shop, on the bus, from behind the counter - is either Russian or some non-descript eastern european language. Many of them doss around, so either they have no jobs or they've got better jobs and benefits than I have!!!

It has got so that you cant even order a coffee easily in London. 1) there is a ridiculous choice, 2) the staff behind the counter can barely understand English and 3) the measures they use are not Imperial or Metric. A small coffee is often now called a Large, a medium would be a Grande and a large would be a sooper dooper. LETS SWEEP AWAY THIS ABSURD BETRAYAL OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
