Anyone for work in Amsterdam?

My m8 who lives in Beverijk put me in touch with a guy from an international agency last year in Utrecht looking for fixers, pretty sure it was 15 Euro an hour and there was no overtime or weekend work.
 
i worked in germany a few times in the early 90's this work was always through dutch agancies. all jobs went well and we got paid on time, but one, we traveled, with caravan to some mountain to tile a hospital, to find another gang of brits had got there before us and we we offered all the **** work. ended up coming back empty handed. got turned over once by some brit lads who nicked all our tools of site, after we had hidden them in our rubish pile. wasn't so bad as we could buy good new tools in germany like washboys, which we had never seen before and changed the way we grout foever. it was great coming back to the uk and showing other tiler what you can do with a washboy. we were getting about 13-15 euros a m2, but massive areas.
