That's why several of us "down at the pub" offered to pay for our English friend's (London) english lessons. We have several excellent schools here for those who wish to improve their english skills. They would be perfect, english as a second language type instruction  .

Nah . . . . I don't have to pay for it. But any of the Gringo bars have Canooks and other furriners hanging around. Down your way, that would be La Fonda, the Palms, Bahia Cantilles and a few others, more north seems to center on the old (1924?) Rene's and No Bad Days. I personally like Rene's for the variety of TV programs they can put on at one time (and the cheap beer) and Bahia for the free library (and the cheap beer).
For the younger crowd it's Papas and Beer and Iggy's on the beach and Macho Taco on the blvd along with a few of their neighbors. Iggy's hosted a Superbike (crotch rocket type) gathering this weekend (it'll be on Speed TV). Lot's of fun watching these guys and girls soaking up the sun and suds then getting on 180 MPH machines . . .  Even with the light rain last night, I could still hear them partying at 4AM, a hardy lot they are!!!

CHEAP BEER is way below my class. Have not touched that stuff in over 50 yrs. I am a little more sophisticated then that. I like my BACARDI ANEJO w/coke cola and a touch of lime in a CLEAN glass. Stefhen

This political correctness is costing us BIG TIME
I am tired of paying for 'bi-lingual' public publications (for example: voters pamphlets - written driving tests - signage (just to name a few).
Welcome to America - Now speak English

Too late, we live in a bilingual society, and Spanish will only continue growing.

Doesn't really matter if they are deported or not. Their children who are legal, their first language is Spanish as was mine.
