I've noticed there is a huge chunk of RTS (Return To Sender) diaspora types back in town.

Most claim to be back home so they can "feel grounded" and miss home.

Yet when you hear their conversations, they spend most of their time telling us how things were so much better back in X ( for X use SA, USA, UK, Canada, Dubai etc).

They also make fun of local ethnic accents, while they talk in fake twangs that sound nothing like English.

Share your observations.

All for a good laugh! smile

Sheri, I allowed you to keep the 2k. Why bring it up here?
