Damn he's been banned. Trolling it may have been, but it was also entertaining.

They may spend their hours correcting the locals in the UK, but in Japan they seem to get on with things pretty well.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I haven't worked in Japan, and have no interest lol.
I spoke to many who worked there, and the condition do not entice me.Comment

I worked for a Japanese car part manufacturing company and went to Japan a few times.
They often had initiatives to try and drive down waste and drive up productivity - one of the great ideas was to remove the safety gates from lifts used by FLT's to move parts around to reduce time - worked fine until someone tried to get into a lift four stories up - which was not there.
The guy died.
But apart from that which was clearly madness they are very industrious people.Comment

I've never heard so much daft, stereotypical, racist rubbish. You should all be ashamed.
Though, I wouldn't expect anything more from a bunch of lazy Scottish/Irish CUKers and that one geezer from eastern europe.Last edited by woohoo; 1 October 2019, 12:54.Comment
