Disgraceful when they do not even bother to clear up afterwards!!

Rainbow - No they don't care

The problem really is that from 1945 to 1990 Czechland was part of the Communist block, their mantra was 'All property is theft' in theory no one owned any property and consequently no one did any maintenance on the buildings they lived in (Why should they when the 'authorities' could come along and move you willy nilly without reason or justification)

So now, if you are a sparks, or a chippy, or a plumber, or whatever you have a lifetimes work in your street alone so why go miles to look for work. There is a huge shortage so what do they care about 'recommendations'.

I've even heard about people offering 'bribes' just to get someone to do something. It's really bad and will take 50 to 100 years to get back to the sort of standard people in England or America expect (Well it probably won't ever get to the standard of service that Americans are used to)

Losos, What a very, very sorry state of affairs indeed!!

What your area needs is a Professional Family Organisation (from another Country) to set up a business and WITH a few Family Members working for them, be able to contract them to various jobs.

The Locals would soon realise they had better smarten up their act or lose the work!

Very good idea Rainbow, I even thought about bringing some small firm in from England, the problem is the language(It is nothing like German,French, or any other European language) it is incredibly difficult to learn and around here no one speaks English. My wife is fluent of course but not in the technical area and anyway she went on strike recently 'cos it was all too much for her
