    I don't get emotional often, but when I heard the old lady had passed I felt a tear in my eye and a sense of loss, enjoy your evening charts ?

    Much loved lady the world over, I saw people in tears this morning, massive crowds outside the palace, but you could sense it was an occasion when history was changing, as you say..... End of an era.

  7. Anyone tried that on the day of the funeral would be battered, everyone would want a dig at them, tensions would be high, like the lady celebrating yesterday and popping a bottle of champagne laughing, posted it online, within an hour an angry mob gathered outside her chip shop in the muir of Ord, put bricks through her windows, and 7 cop cars turned up to get her out of the area safely.
  8. Suggested, not planning charts, they just cancelled one demo out of respect so I really can't see anyone, except maybe one or two lone operators doing it, public opinion would demonise them totally.

    What job.

    Tagalish is officially recognised, your watching ABS/CBN and they chat away in a mix of Tagalog and English, when you first hear it it's like What?? Then you realise an fusion of the two is far more descriptive for them.

    I used to work in the Philippines,I know a lot of Pinoys spread all over the world desperate to escape the corruption and poverty back there, the nurses were getting, believe it or not eighty pence hazard pay extra a month, yup, you read that right, a month, for working in covid wards.

    What job.

    Filipinas in the middle east are contracted on a lower salary than western nurses, a lot now head for Canada, I know some on 100+k CAD a year, my mate is an engineer in Toronto, he has a fantastic life, I asked him would he ever go back to the Philippines, he laughed and said "Only if they drag me back" ?

    What job.

    Pinoys educate their kids specifically so the kids can get out of the Philippines and remit money back to the PI, it's why there used to be so many filipino owned remittance agents around earls Court (the filipino area of London).Also nursing is one of the top uni courses in the PI, because its the golden-ticket out, in fact so many filipinas were leaving the country the government put a 5000 a year limit on those allowed out through the POEA, as no nurses actually wanted to work in their own country, they wanted out,the great escape.
