ReplyDeleteDo you mean the British,,,,, or the champagne British CD plate driving tax free BMW VAT dodging cant stop moaning about the EPO its all doom and gloom - but Jesus they pay for my post British School use the word 'like' at least twice in very sentence kids to go to University so its got to be worth sticking it out at all costs and I couldn't get a job anywhere else anyway because I am an over 45 sold out British loser who has become institutionalised because I been here so long,,,,type excessive holiday person?
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that sort of British person? Or do you mean a British person who has no choice but to accept a 0 hours contract, Think you have lost touch. Get in touch. Arrogance is not the way forward.
