Durr!

[Pebbs]

Ali, dont be worried about having a rant....its good for the soul....like bugs said we all have good days and bad days, it seems at the moment a lot of people are having bad days. Some of us deal with crap everyday, like today I was called a 'heartless *****' I can take that on the chin most days, on other days it cuts deep. The bank of Pebbs closed today to a certain tiler who had drunk all his wages away and was looking for a sub, so Im the heartless *****, and probably told everyone on site who would listen what I am...do I look like I care?

I was sitting in a site canteen last week having a cuppa with the lads, and noticed something, and that was the demise of trained workmen whos first language is english. It seems these days that there is a lot of Eastern European labour on every job. They have one 'foreman' who speaks english, and he relays all the instructions back to the others. Is this what it has come to? the truth is yes this is what it has all come to. You have to have the english speaker translate to the others what needs to be done. We set the system up ourselves to be like this, we only have ourselves to blame, thats the cold hard fact. You grow up, you have a good work effic, learn your trade, try to to do the best for your family, and what for? Makes me wonder if its all worth it in the end.
