When I first worked in Holland it was still single handrail back in Blighty. First place i ever wore overalls, harness and safety glasses.

Worked in Holland in the late 80s early 90s , have to say the safety was non existent . The Dutch didn`t work overtime cause they got taxed to the hilt so they brought us in to do the mega hours . Have to say I enjoyed my time in cloggyland although far to many turks .

Although the Dutch do pay big tax on hours over 37 a week the real reason they bought in the cheap British workers under agencies was because the companies struggled to pay for Dutch workers due to the excellent sick pay scheme etc. i can remember a cloggy girlfriend telling me that everyday 50 to 60% of her companys workforce were off sick on full pay!!

Can you do a trade test on the phone?

[Havespannerwilltravel]

A trade test used to be actually erecting a scaffold not answering questions on the phone. No wonder the games fecked.

I phoned yesterday just out of curiosity. I'm no really interested in working with Stork but the girl told me that they have over manned the job and there will be lay offs. Hopefully she was just spouting rubbish but it's a fukin joke if its true!!!
