quick update:
A regular odd job man (non-gypsy, working class chap with a house on the other side of the town) has recently been forced to give up his handyman style job (which was purely cash in hand) and he has now been looking for a desk job of sorts.
He says middle class people are now VERY VERY reluctant to part with cash on odd jobs such as lawn mowing, window cleaning, fence building etc and are simply doing it themsleves.
He was a really good , down to earth chap with some bawdy banter and its a shame that the recession has hit hit hard.0 -
I hear Poles and other Eastern Europeans are really good workers and good value as well so I'd only ever use them.
Oh Saffas, Aussies & Kiwis as well.0 -
Just to keep dervish happy, I will only employ illegal immigrants from now on. British workers are fat, lazy, boorish and smell of last night's pizza and drinking binge. Plus, the discoloured sweat stains on their tired and ill-fitting England football shirts puts me off my breakfast.0

You have obviously met the two chaps who delivered my kitchen units last week. Needless to say the units were the wrong colour and had the wrong doors, the door handles were missing and so was the the plinth. Apart from that everything was great.0 -
And let me guess . . they needed three cups of tea before they started work. Then they had a break after 15 minutes to drink more tea and read The Sun (complete with charming phrases like . . "phrooaaar, look at those" as they gazed lustfully at Page Three).
Oh, and bum cleavage. Don't forget their bum cleavage.
Illegal immigrant workers on the other hand are charming, polite, smell of room fresheners and actually make YOU a cup of tea, not the other way round.
And if you ask them politely, they'll sell their younger sisters to you for a few quid.0 -

great generalisations and stereotypes there...0 -
i used to think that until they [travelling comunity, can proved it as i tracked there van down to a site]fleeced my 84 year old granny for triming her trees a couple of years back.
i cant repeat what i think of them, so if thats racist.im a racist
judging the behaviours of individuals as being part of the innate personality of an entire perceived 'race' is precisely what racism is about.
if a manchester united supporter steals a little old lady's bag, does that mean all man u supporters are granny muggers?Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0
