According to the renowned Pinko Paper, Liz TRUSS is to relax immigration rules for those sectors which might rather do better with a few Johnny Fs thrown into the mix. As a Johnny F myself, I was delighted to read that such relaxations would include less strict requirements to have mastered the mother tongue of this great nation before being granted stay - but - not for a self-interested motivation, but rather because a good deal of those one meets here do seem to be allergic to the concept of the past participle.


So, of the following options, regarding the policy proposal described, as well as others such as reducing the highest marginal income tax rate, which would you choose?


truss /trʌs/:


1. a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.


OR:


2. a surgical appliance worn to support a hernia, typically a padded belt.


OR:


3. tie up the wings and legs of (a chicken or other bird) before cooking. [Other bird presumably being the United Kingdom in this instance]

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
