Work and Pensions Translators

165 languages to claim benefit

This must be the only country in the world that does this, how to claim benefits in 165 languages, if people come to this country the first thing they should do is learn the flaming language, if I went to live in Spain, if I wanted an translator I'd have to pay for it myself,

Quite right, Jay, and I must say, your own efforts to learn English since you arrived here have been fairly successful. Apart from a few stray malapropisms, your posts almost make perfect sense now. Well done, sir!

Nice one I suppose one of the 165 languages is "Gobbinish" Jay seems to be making the transition to English quite well.

Just think about it.

If we didn't have translators charging the same per hour as people that get the dole per week, our unemployment figures would be even worse!

You are nothing like rindy he has a firm grasp of the Queens English, (which of course is Polari), anything to do with it he can get his tongue around wihout any hesitation.

Whereas you I'm afraid would fail miserably if given the long sentences to repeat from the Janet & John books!

I'll have you know I am very versed in French Less, is just that I'd probably get banned if I used it on here, so I'll give you my answer in two words the second one being off

Now how would you answer the above?

Ah yes,

You have condomed youself with your own iguana, 'off' is an English word, (the fact that you spelt it correctly is the same as a normal person winning the lotto).

Pretend that you are Canadian, and claim that you have a right to speak in whichever one of the official languages that you feel like using

Then what would all those civil rights lawyers do Wrighty, no more legal aid cases, back to house conveyancing, how would they survive
