Yes, it is common knowledge. And I can still get s job in China, I would just need to return to the UK first. But why would I? No wife there and low wages and inflation and xenophobia. But I expect I will get CL telling me I like to 'play' the victim....despite being employed in H.K. and having worked all my life previous to China, yet now I can't even vote or get benefits in the UK. So yeah, if that's me being bitter, I am afraid you and him will just have to lump it!!
