Fascinating. The term "colonials" I mean. Are Americans in Britain considered colonials? (I think the U.S.A. was a British colony at one point, if I remember my history correctly.)

This is quite possible, I wonder if we looked into different faiths would it be the same? for example Islam in the UK would be mostly foreigners. For Christian denominations, maybe its mainly SA, Aus, Kiwi and African/Asian?

Just take a look at the population of Britain. Do you not expect the population to be reflected in every aspect of life in changing Britain. Look at statistics and see the proportion of Brits sho have emigrated to other countries. Is anything surprising in geographical /sociological change?

"we an't colonials anymore sis " typical colonial spelling..... Proving that you are still in the convict mode So who is this being rude again? aH!! Aileen! The one who watches TV with workers, lives in midlands according to her posts, visits in South East London, has some grown and some nearly grown kids gets mixed up with what she knows about England though, so maybe...... mm England is such a small place and not so many friends....... gives criticism aplenty but not too good at takig any!

Would you want to be around people who think like this? Total lack of welcome, lack of love, revealing lack of knowledge, well, "over run by "..... what does that expression mean?

No, Gene, of course they are not. You can't take this kind of poster seriously. Reasoning is wasted on Aileen. So is wit !! The more she posts the more we understand !!!

Isn't God seeking souls to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth?
These are welcomed into His Kingdom from all nations.
In Christ there is no East or West.
Beautiful Harmony.
Peace and Love to all.

thanks for reminding me of that hymn, peace and rest! I look at the words of it slightly different now (the fold meaning all of God's children not just F&W) but I loveeeee that hymn and the harmonies in it when everyone would be singing> There is rest (there is rest) There is peace (there is peace) There is rest, there is peace...in, the fold....beautiful song. M.

"we an't colonials anymore sis " typical colonial spelling..... Proving that you are still in the convict mode I'm astounded to see there are still people who actually think "class" matters. What do you think is the history of Britain? War after war, invasion after invasion, one group of self-appointed royals ousting the next. You need perspective.

"aileen has shown time after time that she lacks perspective "
translation: Aileen and I don't share the same perspective, therefore hers is wrong.
