Haha I was going to post this for you last night Tony it seems we both have yahoo home pages. Windsor was on there to but near the bottom I would've thought it would be up with Slough it's only 5 miles down the road. Both places are complete sh#tholes but are surrounded by some very pricey burbs
TBH a lot of those so called national polls on yahoo and the likes are somewhat regional and have been done by someonewho's never left the south east let alone heard of Wales Scotland or NI.
I recently got a call from my insurance, saying I had a claim being nade against me, for reversing into a parked car, causing damage and driving off. Apparently the incident took place in B'ham city centre on 14th February. I was allegedly in my Transit. Couple of things before I drone on; I never take the Transit into the city centre, no need and you can't park, plus on the said date the van was in the garage all day having the gear selector changed as it had been off road outside my house for the previous week.
When the assesor came to see me, he took down my statement, witness names for the garage owner, the clients house that we were working at, and the lads I work with and 2 of my neighbours who's houses I'd been parked in front of while off road(I went well armed for this one)
He then and told me they were claiming £10k worth of personel injuries, which is what had alerted them to a possible fraud in the first place, plus they had no description of the van(it's big white and covered in liveridge) or the road the incidents supposed to have occured on.
When I asked him if he thought it was fraud, he said yes he was pretty sure and had been before he met with me, and he then pointed at the claiments name and said he'd only had to look at the name, it was asian. He then said that they had a massive problem with Asians making false claims, in fact they were the largest percentage of bogus claimants, but this fact is not allowed to be made public as it is classed as too sensitive.
By the way the person claiming is a donut that I had a no fault collision with in Jan 2010, they were trying to false claim against someone they'd already lost too, unbelievable!! The guy nearly wet himself when I told him that. Sure enough after later checks it turned out it was her, she'd tried to sue me first time round as well.
If there is a problem in the UK with various "Ethnic" cultures involved in certain types of specific crimes then we should be given this information regardless of possible offence being caused, how can you begin to sort a problem if noone is allowed to discuss it??
once dated a lass who worked as a fraud investigator for a bank and she said the same thing, asians were by a long way the worst offenders for card fraud
