Even if it means creating a scene in an unfriendly location. However, the toffee-mafia hadn't angered me till I read you post.<br /><br />Another mafia I hate is the schools. You know the compulsory buying of uniforms, books , stationery, from the shops designated by them.....They charge designer prices for goods of average quality. My children's school changes shoes and school-bag type every year forcing the parents to buy a new every year. I know, This mafia is going to be a little harder to fight to.Sakethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427879474443521889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960082414020218571.post-79574116008007577432014-10-13T06:08:43.528+02:002014-10-13T06:08:43.528+02:00Hey, that UK incident is interesting to know.

The parking thing...A very interesting post, Sakshi. The parking thing - sounds like a right con. Especially the way it's torn. As for the toffees for change - yes, been there, done that. I guess most of us have. I used to accept it at first. Strangely it isn't an "Indian" thing. I remember my first year in the UK - The bus drivers used to have IOU notes if they didn't have change. Often the bus would start to get crowded as I approached the University ; hence I wouldn't stay on to get the change. Eventually one day, I boarded the bus with enough IOU notes - if memory serves right, they totalled enough for a long-trip from Brighton to London; As is the case, they refused to take it. Now, I'm not confrontational by any standards, but the driver happened to catch me on a day where I was really didn't want to hear any excuses. So eventually I stood there long enough, till the driver accepted those IOU notes back. Sometimes we really need to put our foot down.<br /><br />Apologies for the really long comment :)Sid @ iwrotethose.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726189024235943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960082414020218571.post-18957835194793254922014-09-27T11:20:57.222+02:002014-09-27T11:20:57.222+02:00I don't know who survives at whose gates but I...I don't know who survives at whose gates but I do know media across the world survives with sensationalism and geo-political projections.
