    It's a furniture shop, the students aren't going to buy anything anyway.

    Could they not just have put up a sign saying "no food or drink allowed"?

    Seems easier, but there's probably a back off Brussels thing going on here as well.

    Here, the 'foreign students' are probably better behaved

    The French all wear stripey tops, have a string of onions around their neck and say "aw he haw he haw" all day.

    The Germans all have hairy armpits.

    The Spanish are all asleep.

    The Mexicans wear somberos and sneeze all over the shop.

    Should do what, OP?

    Do you mean this:

    A furniture shop in a south coast town has banned foreign students who it says take their fast food into the store to eat on the sofas and coffee tables. Chris Moffet, manager of Perfect Homes in Eastbourne, said he put up a sign barring foreign students after his stock was damaged.
    Solicitor Paul Gilbert said the store could be leaving itself open to prosecution under race relations laws.
    But Mr Moffet said: "I am not prepared to have damage done to my products."
    Rubbish on floor

    A "polite notice" on the shop doorway asks foreign students not to enter because of the actions of a small number.
    Mr Moffet said students spilt drinks on the tables and left rubbish on the floor.
    Eastbourne has 25 language schools, with 25,000 foreign students visiting the town every year and contributing some £12m to its economy.
    Students interviewed by BBC South East said they did go into shops to eat, but Jergen Matthes, owner of one of the language schools, said he did not believe students would behave in such a way.
    "They will go to sports shops and internet cafes and spend hours and hours there, where they are welcome because they are spending money," he said.
    "But a furniture shop is not an attraction for students anywhere in the world that I know."
    Mr Gilbert said there was no limit on the amount of compensation that could be awarded against the shop by a court if a successful prosecution ever took place

    Fo pitys sake. A link to a site doesnt make a post.

    It might be better for the shop keepers to approach the messers individually, insead of tarring them all together. As annoying as they feckin are.

    My understanding is that a foreign student usually has 100 legs, 100 arms, 50 torso's and grows in the middle of pedestrianised areas. Due to the large number of legs, they tend to be unable to move out of anyones way. They are often seen to have burger like growths protruding from their hands and backpack shaped tumors growing mid-way down their backs.

    On a better note, at least 15 of the 50 arses they have are kinda hot.
