Are you improving their job prospects and future? Can you afford it?<br /><br />Are these young Britons giving the impresson to foreigners of British youth that right-thinking members of society in this country would wish?<br /><br />The answer to all these questions, I would submit, is NO. <br /><br />Don't pay to put your child in moral and physical danger and bring your country into disrepute.Claire Khawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557436240917008429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747759322341026313.post-63125888124773807342011-07-04T00:22:17.575+01:002011-07-04T00:22:17.575+01:00Max, Bruno and Conrad paid for their own gap year....Max, Bruno and Conrad paid for their own gap year.
