Treating people differently just because they're foreigners sounds a bit xenophobic to me...

After 30 years in the UK, I very much doubt that 50% of the UK born population have A-level standard English.

That's the strange thing about cigarettes.
From a purely design perspective, they are everything a small object of desire should be - sleek, smooth, expensive and dangerous.
Yet I've never been attracted to women who smoke. Quite the opposite.

Good heavens, I'd forgotten about those.
Never liked the feel of the foil round the filters on my teeth.

Israel-Hamas peace deal signed in a ceremony by leaders of the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, but not Israel or Hamas, nor any other Palestinians.

I discovdred Gauloises on a school history trip to the Normandy beaches.
