[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 7798883, member: 66524"] Quite frankly i'd be happy to put everything into something I could combine. It's six and a half days a week 7 am to 7 pm for 52 weeks of the year. The workers only do six days and whilst they do get 3 or 4 times the local minimum wage if there was a Starbucks or an Amazon warehouse to work in I'm sure they'd be off in a shot. It's a global economy you can't put the genie back in the bottle. The minimum wage in Bulgaria is about £2.50 an hour so when there was frèe movement of labour then why not move to the UK and get four times as much. I'm an economic migrant. America ( north and south) Australia and New Zealand are full of economic migrants millions of people throughout the world have improved their lives by moving and doing jobs others won't or can't do. If the UK hasn't got the numbers of workers they need they have options however I notice they haven't mentioned putting the army into the vegetable fields. [/QUOTE]
