Ali and Habib are beggars. They beg in different areas of London ...
Habib begs just as long as Ali does, but only collects £2 to £3 every day. Ali brings home a suitcase full of £10 notes, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend.
Habib asks Ali “I work just as long and hard as you do but how is it that you bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day?”
Ali says, “Look at your sign, what does it say?”
Habib's sign reads 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support'.
Ali says “No wonder you only get £2- £3.”
Habib says “So what does your sign say?”
Ali shows Habib his sign. It reads: 'I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan'.

A place in London I worked at a while ago,a young Pakistani was there and he was OK,you could have a laugh with him. Occasionally when he was on an early finish he would slip up and say "well I'm off home now." Which would be greeted with a chorus of "oh great.! Do you want a lift to the airport.? Are you taking a load of your mates with you.?" A puzzled look would appear and "I'm only going to East Ham." Then reality would dawn and "I know you are joking me."
