I know, Michael, a cheek indeed. We were both absolutely fizzing in the car afterwards. Apparently the chap has a big business here (catering I think) and they're very well-off. She was at pains to tell me they had a VERY big house, and it made a lot of work keeping it clean. I'm ashamed to admit I suggested that if they could afford such a large residence, they could presumably afford a maid. (Oh dear, naughty Eliza.) They actually attend a 'dodgy' mosque where my husband once used to worship. It was only Bangladeshi Muslims, very stern and strict, and they shunned him like anything, so he left and now goes to the University one which is much more multi-national. I expect they prefer to live here because the standard of living is much higher than back home. No problem with that. But I did resent being looked down on, in my own country, as 'inferior'. They'd do better in Saudi or Dubai IMO. It's this sort of thing that makes me worry for Ib. Either they'll try to indoctrinate him (unlikely to succeed as he adores UK and is proud to be a British Citizen) or they may become active Islamists and make folk look askance at any Muslims, causing Ib problems. Not good.
