Trying to say thanks

An african assylum seeker arrived at Heathrow with all his family and was immediately given a council house. After moving in he decided to go out and thank the first English person he could find.

He walked around for a couple of hours trying to find an Englishman but couldn't. Everybody he spoke to was also an immigrant. He found people from Pakistan, India, Poland, Romania, every country in the world except England!

Eventually he gave up and went into a pub where he got a pint and sat down at a table with another African. He got talking to the other guy and explained his problem, how he couldn't find an Englishman anywhere.

"Why is this?" he asked.

"Simple" said his new found friend, looking at his watch. "At this time of day the silly buggers are all at work"
