Default O. T. - - - UK Border Force - - - O. T.


I just watched an episode of this program on Sling TV and they were
questioning foreigners why they were coming to the U. K. I'm not sure
why this particular person was singled out.

One was a 41-year-old woman who was a chef and she had arrived with
25 copies of her C V (Curriculum Vitae) plus a separate suitcase full of
her professional knives. She denied she was coming there to work but
why all the knives? She was going to 'cook for her uncle' and 'cook for friends' but not work. The question then was why not just use their
knives? "I a.l.w.a.y.s. travel with ALL my knives and certificates" was her
answer. They did state due to her age she did not qualify for a work
visa.

Well, they didn't buy her story and put her on a plane right back to Australia. She was mad and boohooing she'd saved 6 months for
this 'holiday' and had no money. Another reason they didn't believe
her, not a penny to her name. But she did have an impressive array
of knives!
