polish tilers?

[raf76]

ok..i'm polish tiler..and i know lot of polish tilers all over the europe....i can imagine that ther is plenty of stereotypes about polish,scotish,german etc. builders..and other ocupations...i have lot of english buildiers as a friends and nobody complains on polish tilers(hahah)..the problem is that many polish(all east europe)people coming to England for "better"life(!???) and they put the prices ****ing down!!!I hate this as well....I always hold the prices comparing to country where i am...but some people dont understend this simple rules of economy..so what to do??!!I think that it will change automatically because prices in Poland are growing up year per year...for example now in Warsaw i can get more for 1m2 that in Leicestershire!!!!! thanks...

I saw a polish plumber on telly last night.

Oh no - sorry my mistake - it wasnt a polish plumber.

It was "Matt Alwight" dressed up as "Jimmy" the polish plumber on his series "Rouge Traders" Silly me.

How they can get away with that is beyond me in this PR world we live in.

Seems to be alot of fuss about polish tradesmen coming to the uk to work but seems to me that did we complain when we went to germany to work or even over to spain and now some peeps are going to oz to work so whats the difference.....most are skilled tradesmen so it must be a good thing not a bad one.........i,m all for it..............dave...

Lots of them in London. Their work is ok, below our standards as far as I am concerned. Done a few corrections because of them.

Totally agree..if you are worried about foreign tilers taking your work ....then step up to the mark and compete...at least your customer can speak our lingo...thats your first advantage.....Gaz
