Geld the Dane and you'll never get rid of the dane.

This works both ways quite frankly. When we visited some relatives in Santa Cruz in the late 80's - my head could not fathom why they didn't lock the door at night.

An example of this was when Lewis Goodall went to the new Reform Party pub in Blackpool. He spoke with the manager, a big farage fan, who admitted that Brexit was a huge mistake and we should go back in.

I was at a function a few years ago where I am sure one of the waiting staff was Romanian because we were talking about their country and I loudly exclaimed "The only thing I know about it is Ceausescu!".
