@COYBL25 might report me

@COYBL25 it think Joey actually wants you to re-plot him as he’s outgrown the old pictures thread and become a current affairs monster.

It's worse than that mate, they laughed in French.

And Jersey belongs to the UK.

Ethnic groups (2021)	44.4% Jersey 30.5% British 9.4% Portuguese 3.0% Polish 2.1% Irish 1.4% Romanian 5% Other European 1.9% Asian 0.9% African 1.3% multiracial

So 50 percent are French then ......

I've worked in Jersey mate, have family and friends living there and for me it was easy to find building work there. It's got nothing to do with France but is part of the UK! Has its own government.

Did you ever try to claim unemployment benefit there?

I was telling an old schoolfriend I met in a nightclub he had been there as a sparky for a contract for a building company for 12 months they got the work done in 9 months ahead of schedule, they got good wages plus a big bonus for getting the job done ahead of time .... so they thought they would sign on the dole as summer was arriving -

They signed on & were told to report back at 9pm the next day - he thought it's just to fill more forms in - him and his mates were given bib & brae uniforms & a van came & took a load of his mates plus a supervisor included to paint school fences all day - he & his mates soon got on the plane to fly home - working for their dole money ......

That was in the mid 1970s, English my arsp in name only

Been going to Jersey since the 70s Joey and never heard anyone speak French there. Walk through St Helier and you would think you were in town or Glasgow. A lot of people there are of French descent but they all speak English. Most of the younger generation are kids of English and Scottish parents. Jersey is a tax haven for the British government and has never been a part of the EU. Anyway back on topic, I but Truss has a few shilling stashed there.

There was no benefits for anyone who wasn't a Jersey resident Joey. You had to live and work there for a number of years to qualify for residency or dole.

So 50 percent are French then ......

Jersey population by place of birth (2011)[1]

Place of birth	Number	Percent
Jersey	48,654	50
British Islesa	30,223	31
Portugal	7,031	7
Poland	3,133	3
Ireland	1,880	2
Other European country	3,146	3
Elsewhere in the world	3,791	4

Of the category 'Other European country', the primary countries were France and Romania and for 'Elsewhere in the world', the primary countries were South Africa and India.

So fewer people moved there from France, than they did from South Africa.

I heard someone say cul-de-sac once.
Does that help?
