      I know one or two who were complaining before Germany opened up the borders to Eastern Euopeans that they didn't earn enough and now a few years later earning significantly more

      That is interesting isn't it, how did they manage that then.
      Statistics show that the average german wage is going up I assume.

      But that does not mean you have tulip loads of people living in tulip conditions earning minimum wage does it?

      It's called a race to the bottom - not a race to as low as you want to go to try and back up your point.

        It’s not a race if there’s only one of you in it (Greece’s problems being well documented, what’s the UK’s excuse?)

          UK Agents notoriously call me up time and time again with rates I was charging in 2005. I don't get it. If there's people willing to taking up yesterday's rate then let them, no problems there. But then the phone rings again three months later saying said person had to leave and the offer was back on the table. The answer is still no at those rates.

          I think this is the productivity problem in a nutshell. Folks are blagging their way into jobs they cannot perform.

            They do. Compared to Brexiteers.

              Have you asked if it's too late to submit your expense claim for the Thistle Hotel Heathrow?

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    No I haven't. Feck.
