The Business
I have not really had much experience of Thai Brides myself but in the past two days I have become aware of them more and more.
First off had a customer come in yesterday looking for a remortgage. Seemed a bit weird on the phone and as always when I asked for his partners name he said "I will tell you on the day"
Turns out the reason he cant give me his partners name as he can spell it as she is from Thailand. In my line of work you do meet a lot of weird old people but this was on of the weirdest.
He basically couldnt speak the same language as his wife. Nor could they really communicate at all really. He was 50 odd and she was mid-20's. Not bad if you like that sort of thing. Had a bit of a chat and basically he only met her a few months before and they got married 4 days after meeting.
The today got on at Brighton for my daily trip to London Bridge. I was late as had a few too many last night with my mates and ended up getting stuck in the middle of a six seat formation - if you catch my drift. Tried to sleep but my banging hangover said no.
Anyway opposite me was low and behold another Thai Bride with her partner. Again her English was awful and I got the impression it was her first trip to London. All the way up he was telling her the history of London half of which was wrong but I couldnt be ****ed to tell him. Again she was 20 years plus younger than him. He also had a greying pony tail which is just offensive.
Now I cant decide if its wrong or not. On one hand the man is lonely and often has resources and the woman had a nice figure and had come from I guess a pretty poor place to live in Brighton. So I guess in a way they are just both offering the other a service "pardon the pun".
On the other hand I cant help but really think its just exploitation of the Thai's as they have no money and clearly are only doing it for the cash.
Where do you stand on this.
