Talk of officialdom going bananas, well, this story on the BBC website made my jaw drop just now. People applying for a visa to visit the UK had it turned down, as they wanted to visit the UK for no other reason than sightseeing. For not having a (sufficient) command of the English language. If that was applied in the reverse direction, quite a few English people would have their visa applications turned down. Anyway, read the whole story here, and other feedback here.

Reading this makes me feel ashamed to be a British citizen. England especially, is getting bogged down in so much officialdom and reams of crazy new laws, we wont be allowed in our own country much longer.
Take care, Sylvia x -

unbelievable. Well, that will stop most Brits going abroad if applied in other countries. Brits are notoriously bad at learning other languages, we expect them all to speak English
