i am romanian.today i went to lloyds tsb to try and open an account for my brother in law who just arrived from romania one week ago and will start work on monday.he doesn;t have a proof of address cos he just arrived but i know i can introduce him as i am one of their costumers. i asked this lady working there if it;s possible to open an account bla bla bla that he lives with me and i am a costumer.she said yeah it;s fine no problem, but what country r u from? her answer? ''romaniannnnnnn nooooooo u need a proof of address''.i asked why.i got this answer i have never got in the six years i lived in london: ''u ask me why?'' having this wondered face and smiling at me.like u know''u dirty romanians can't open an account without a proof of address cos u r romanians'' or '' u dirty pieces of shit , useless second class citizens r not worthy opening an account with us''. I work here legally for 6 years.i have a mortgage, i have no debt no problems with police.nothing wrong with me. ''bad'' ppl are everywhere, but they shouldn't try to put us down for making a better life for ourselves.i know endless pure british ppl that have lived all their lives on benefits or pakistani,indian,somalian who live in free houses with 7 children on MY MONEY.or british jews (the very religious ones) that have i swear a whole bunch of kids and r not married legally just to get free huge houses from the council.everybody knows that but nobady does nothing.british ppl make me sick.
