Dinosaur Wrote:Can't actually find anything racist, xenophobic etc on my original post, merely pointing out that 'British' (of whatever ethnicity/creed/place of birth) diggers are in danger of pricing themselves out of the market in much the same way as e.g. Newcastle minicab drivers, surprisingly few of whom now have Geordie accents, and how low are the wages doing that? If anyone other than yourself had taken exception to what I wrote, and there have been plenty of viewers on that thread, there are plenty of people who post on here who would have been straight in to give it a good kicking..... Actually most of the guys from other parts of the EU (and EFTA) that I've been working with have been really good (worryingly so from a 'British' digger's perspective) and they certainly know how to have fun.
You wanted a sincere apology, I'll apologise sincerely when there's actually something valid to apologise for?
An interesting idea - work for less or you'll lose your job to somebody who will.
I'd like to thank you for your contributions on this forum, you're making the reasons for unionisation of site staff much easier for all to see.
