You The British Tax Payer Spends £46.9Million On Projects In China.

[anotheoldgit]

But that's not all:

£14.3million is spent to help fund the fishing industry in Nigeria.

Malawi received £360,000 for fish farming schemes while £611,000 was given to the international charity WorldFish, which works to improve fisheries and aquaculture to reduce hunger and poverty.

A further £263,000 was given to Nepal to develop fish farming and £616,000 to Zimbabwe to fund schemes for fish farmers.

In all, Britain sends £13.4billion of aid overseas each year, are you happy with this?

when? show me?

[THECORBYLOON]

When what?

[ToraToraTora]

TCL : "TTT the Ab Editor spoke to you just the other day about your using rhyming slang and now you're using offensive rhyming slang. " - show me, I don't remember and what's offensive?

[THECORBYLOON]

When I have a minute, I'll have a look. The slang you used was rhyming slang for an offensive word for Chinese and don't come the innocent.

Thsnks ALBA,

"And if you avoid rhyming slang, your thread will be about the actual subject and not about how confusing/annoying the way you asked the question is - wouldn't that be preferable?"

[ToraToraTora]

fair enough, missed that.

[THECORBYLOON]

Regardless of missing the Ed's comments, you thought it okay still to be offensive.

[ToraToraTora]

I have not been offensive, that's in your head.

[Jackdaw33]

I must be the odd one out as I find TTT's inventive use of rhyming slang quite amusing and enjoy deciphering them. The one on this thread was OTT but clearly people had no trouble in getting it.

[THECORBYLOON]

As the post's been deleted, it appears it's not only me who thought it offensive.

[youngmafbog]

Some get offended over nothing.

Is AB now discriminating against real Londoners if rhyming slang is not allowed. Isn't that racist?

And no I dont agree with the amount sent out on aid. I have nothing against aid but it should not be a % and it should not go to large nations. If we want to support for business then have a fund that does just that.

Firstly - what do you mean by ‘real Londoners’?

Londoners don’t use rhyming slang - Cockneys do. And the definition of a Cockney is someone who is born within the sound of Bow Bells. There is no determination to the race of the person, so it cannot be racist.

Londoners don’t use rhyming slang - Cockneys do.


You started out ok there but lost it towards the end of the sentence, sp.

Londoners don’t use rhyming slang - C ...s do

Once more we have to ask ourselves - what was the thread about again?
