Migrant Labour

I suppose Im one of those workers that have moved into a job that the locals do not want. I would say we have about a 2% French 5% Italain 10% NZ 10% Aussie 30% Englsih 20% US and a mix of the rest. But the French will not work and have to many problems. Brits work well out side the Uk Kiwis work well outside NZ. Maybe its the ppl with the get up and go, that are getting and to a new place?? Is that why they work harder??

What I find funny is why the UK. I love the Uk, but Im a kiwi. Lots of ppl. cold rainy, a bit pricey,

Franch italy Spain warm sunny, closer to home for most. Not so many ppl.

My industry has a huge shortage of ppl. I will take any one on that can "sort of" do the job. I have to fly ppl around the world and bring them here, but the French will not even walk down the dock and ask about them.

When Ive finally had enough of this cold wet overcrowded island Ill be down there to apply for a job.
How is San Raphael and Les Illes De Porquerolles these days?

Every where was busy, Never even got a look in at St Tropez all summer. and that was after a few K tip. You guys might have got the rain, we got ALL the wind, never seen it so windy all the time.

Opps sorry for the derail

I used to sail boats around there.The Mistral wind used to blast you down to Corsica or Spain then just die away to nothing.A few days later would see another gale to hopefully blast you back again.
The less trendy Spanish end was always nicer I thought.
Further derail alert.

what do you do redbouy?

best we had this year was 90+ knots. I say plus cause the gauge stopped there. peged for 5 min.s 400 mtrs of chain. 5000 hp mains 300 hp Bt and we held still !!!.
Many others wheren't so lucky.

But would you move here. ?? Not many jobs unless you like boating and IT.
There is some sort of driving thing some times not sure how to get a leg in to that.

Why the h*ll do so many young people dream of being pop stars and actors instead of dreaming of being scientists, lawyers, doctors, inventors?

I drive [captain] a super yacht [google] spend most of the time round south France Italy area.

We, and I mean the "older one's" have made the world our kids grow up in. So some of the blame must be on us.

Awesome. I seriously considered this as a career at the end of 6th form, going on some super expensive course in southampton or isle of wight (or somewhere like that- too long ago now). The lifestyle good?
