Poles, Estonians, Romanians etc. All have been superb, and have sometimes left me for dust with their work ethic. Can only speak as I find. Maybe different trades work in different ways.

I have also worked and still work with all of the above nationalitiesPoles, Estonians, Romanians etc. All have been superb, and have sometimes left me for dust with their work ethic. Can only speak as I find. Maybe different trades work in different ways.
First Experienced the standing on the toilet thing when in Afghanistan, just unbelieveble. Growing up in Houston and having worked in many industries, most recently at an FAA Part 135 maintence facility working on Boeing 757's converting them from passenger liners to Freight liners (basically we would cut a big hole in the side and install the cargo door) anyway the team I was on was made up mostly of spanish speaking immigrants, one guy was from Cuba, one from Peru, Chile & Mexico, one other retired navy guy like me and two guys from Alabama. We were one of the most working-est crews in that hangar, other teams would burn off all the hours allotted for a particular task. Then when the jobs were turned in and re-disributed out the next week, we'd end up with jobs cards that had maybe have an hour left on them, but we'd wrap it up and our lead would figure out how to allocated the time. Sounds like I'm tooting my own horn here, but many of the "American" guys constantly talked shite about how employees should be able to read write and speak english in order to get the job. Usually those guys were the ones burning up the alloted time and not getting the task done. That hangar was hot as all get out because it was in Mobile, Alabama (talking summer time---I'd go thru 4 shirts in a day sweating like crazy). Also experienced the same kind of thing on a contract in San Antonio, Texas. Local guys complaining about their spanish speaking counterparts.
totally agreeThere should also be the offered three jobs and if none taken , then benefits removed for our own lazy bastards

a man that gets itThey are Freddie, with all those £millions they’re sending ‘home’...
tell me you are joking. I was running the ladder at 15 unloading brick lorries by hand. I have no sick/holiday pay. we don't have a limit on the weights of the materials we lay. you try taking a half ton rsj through a house then installing it on hundred weight pad stones by hand! that's what I did with 2 others last week. i'm in my sixties ! watching would have made you need a sit down. Never lecture me on hard work. Asians do 12 hrs shifts behind tills at garages. they wouldn't or wouldn't be able to do mineThat's why they invented machinery, to make it easy for us all. And a job for me to repair it when it breaks. Not seen too many builders doing 12 hour nights, putting their back into it either ???
yeah. rightoBlimey you did get a tad excited, I won't give you my work history but let's say my back is knackered, knees etc from years of putting my back into it, which you inferred I hadn't.
