old fashioned? hell yeah !
Not very old-fashioned at all, most British people who went abroad established/bought into a very British way of doing things, and treated the existing residents/’inhabitants with scant regard or even hostility. Your principle of teaching your children the fundamentals – presumably of local culture and values – is very modern indeed, some would say PC. . . . . .

Oh we did. Several answers in fact but you chose to ignore them.
Btw, I like the way you have said on these boards that you are English and not British.
Ruby is Scottish and lives there yet you establish a common bond with Ruby referring to “our society.”
So it seems you are British when it suits you. :roll:

Ruby in many ways I wish there was a direct connection between the number of east Europeans and the resources given to schools and housing. But the record of successive governments – particularly monetarist governments, which tend to be supported by the Daily Mail – s that resources are cut regardless as public spending is seen as a bad thing in principle. Your grandchildren might well be competing with eastern European children for places, but the size of the pot is determined by government, and if the eastern Europeans weren’t here it would simply be reduced further. As to whether they speak Polish or Latvian, the evidence is that they will speak the language they learn at home. If they learn another language there is also strong evidence that bi-lingualism improves the ability to learn generally so if they are able to speak more than one language they will become more capable, and more employable.

Ruby, I don’t think your grandson is going to be taught to speak Polish or Latvian. He may in secondary school be taught French or German. Will you object to that?
Also, shouldn’t Scottish ppl be speaking Scottish Gaelic rather than English?

A panda is known by the company they keep, Terry. She has been giving you a lot of attention lately, maybe it takes one to know one.

You could keep me going all night at this. It’s a game you, yourself, like to play.
