>> You don't say which culture you come from, I;d be interested to know. And how would the firing example be managed there?
I came from India. Even 10 years back, firing someone from job was only limited when someone did a massive mischief or company folded. Even now, most Indian companies don't fire employees as much as British/American companies do. Also, if an Indian company fires employees, that news is often leaked much ahead in advance!
Although I say firing culture is getting "popularity" in India too in recent times.
>> Good grief! - what clown gave you a frownie I wonder, and why?
I can't understand that either!!
>> movi, what I find weird is that you say you're an immigrant but voted UKIP, according to your post on the UKIP thread.
That proves UKIP is not a racist party, isn't it? :o)
I voted them because I support their policies - simple as that.
For example, I see no problem in controlled migration allowing skilled people to settle here (that is how I came here) however I don't support benefit scoungers.
Rest assured, lots of my friends (=immigrants) support UKIP too.
>> The couple about to split but behaving normally is something else again: most couples consistently hide dissension from friends and acquaintances until the final decision is made.
That is exactly what I don't understand. For example, I often argue with my wife and we often shout at each other (I'm sure my neighbors can hear us shouting but fortunately they don't understand our language). But in my neighbors case, we never heard them ever shouting or argumenting! That's why when they split it came as a shock to us. This is not an isolated case. Many of my immigrants friends experienced same with their neighbors/friends too.
