Re: Great Britain?
HiIt is the work ethos Twinks.
Drilled into me that life is what you make it, nobody owes you a living, it is up to you to find the work and get on with it.
You don't get owt for nowt.
I have worked all over the place to provide for my family.
I find it absolutely amazing that there are people 30 miles away in Telford who refuse to move for work, yet the Polish will move here for the same jobs to better their lives.
Locally we where advertising jobs, 4 days on, four off, £15 an hour, 12 hour shifts, a 20% enhancement for the night shift.
Guess where the applicants came from?
Certainly not Telford or Stoke with the high Unemployment Rates.

.Before anyone complains about my irony, I have moved between 6 counties and done many jobs in order to support myself . It never occurred to me there was an alternative.

Only reason continentals can is they live several families to a house multiple occupancy flats and houses often illegal lets. They aren't trying to make a real home of have their family here with them.
I appreciate that that may be a problem where you are.
It is certainly not a problem around here.
You can buy a perfectly good house for £150k around here.
A big 3 bed semi, with a garage garden and conservatory is less than £600 a month.
It is a totally different world, even in the same Country.
We are desperate for workers here, most agricultural jobs come with free accommodation.
Yes, it is not to everyone's taste, but the living is good.
We have no big HMO's here plenty of rent a room schemes.
Tax free income for the Homeowners, but the cost is very low for those who rent until they get their own place.
I have an agreement with the Local NHS, £12 a night for new arrivals until they get their own place.
Winner all round.
I love the Company and it costs me nothing overall.

Two great posts from Meg and Twinks.

Re: Great Britain?
UK population in1990....57.25 million
1996 ....58.17 "
2000.....58.89 "
2005.....60.,210 "
2010.....62.,716 "
2016.....65,111 "
and ongoing.
Massive increase in population and more than France's population. In that respect good old Great Britain can't be so bad after all if everyone wants to come here but it does cost us.
The unemployment percentage is probably a lot lower than it has been for years.
As we realise this, we also see how much is being raised by this country for Unicef Africa Appeal . We are Great in Britain
