You fully misunderstood me: I was objecting against the 'it's not in our system, so it can't happen' attitude, which I noticed in people originating from India working in the UK and this support analyst. This type of attitude was confirmed to me be several other Dutch people: the book they've last read is considered as gospel, and anything not in that book simply isn't true. And those Indians (non-  personnel) working in the UK: They must have been trained to deny all bugs, because it will ultimately result in lawsuits. General attitude: if in doubt just deny there's a problem, and cover ur ass.

I don't like being labeled as a racist, and I think the recent history of the Croatian people shows they would better keep their mouth shut on this issue.
