Actually Adrian recently posted and stated his real age, saying 65, so he has been quite open and honest, people have simply failed to read all of the posts on this subject.

If he had indeed done so, then why did Turnoi quote 52? Turnoi's been providing misinformation and has criticized me for having called Adrian an oldtimer. It seems he only supports those on here who have PhD's, whatever they post, coz he's got one!
All I know about this matter, by applying common sense, is that it is highly likely that Mini Sehgal is telling the truth re Adrian's age, as she would no doubt have received a scanned copy of Adrian's passport ID page from him. But Adrian has come out with bullhockey like '20000 RMB a month in China as a salary for a foreigner in the EFL industry as a DOS is chickenfeed'. Posting that kind of misinformation shows readers who is indeed the high and mighty one, namely he himself.
In addition, a successful job applicant's air ticket to China to be bought in advance by the employer is NOT and hasn't been standard practice here in China for a good few years now. If I read stuff on TB that I think isn't what's happening on the ground here, I'll contradict it appropriately, and other readers have already done likewise in this thread.
As for the F visa saga, to get an F needs paperwork from a Chinese company, no easy matter. One would have thought the easiest way would have been for a successful job applicant to get a Z in the UK, but not in Adrian's case coz he's over 59 years of age. It seems Rajesh has dropped Adrian coz he's found out the local PSB wouldn't issue Adrian a Z either, on grounds of age. But that's not to say the potential employer is blameless in this fiasco. He hadn't done his homework in a timely fashion either.
