"I saw nothing to answer until this - "emigrated to Britain aged 30" (somewhat silly sometimes Smokey)...can't we at least agree that, whether good or bad at it and the the like of the English flute, I am an English REPATRIATE; not to compare myself in any other way, but would you have Gandhi, in his later years, as an immigrant from South Africa.
And how about A L Lloyd - he repatriated or emigrated from Aus. back to here? Where do you draw the line?"

Firstly, I'm not drawing any lines - you are; it isn't me who wants to ban immigration. Nor was I being 'silly' when I said you emigrated to Britain aged 30. I am fully aware of when I'm being silly, thank you. That is what happened, you said so yourself. You may well choose to call yourself an 'English REPATRIATE', (although shouting doesn't really add much weight..) but that does not change any of what I have said or asked you. I don't really think Gandhi or A.L.Lloyd need be mentioned, save to say that under your rules things may have been different. I didn't expect you to answer my questions; we both know you can't, and why. As for the Burns - understand it, and you will be a richer man.
