The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
If I decided to go back to work and live in Europe Germany would be my first choice. I have Scottish friends living there and get the occasional work offer but not tempted yet. No matter, when I retire I'll be moving from the UK permanently anyway.Comment

If they're all based in the UK it's because employment law is more favourable for them here than elsewhere in the EU, despite the EU's best efforts to "harmonise" it.
So post Brexit there will be even more incentive for them to stay in the UK (assuming Labour don't get in and feck up everything by destroying with misguided legislation what little competitive advantage we have).Hard Brexit now!

Johnny is arranging a band reunion in Munich for later this year so I'll get to see more of Germany.Comment

A good number of Australians, New Zealanders and Americans have set up companies in the EU and put themselves on payroll in them in order to qualify for the card and contract anywhere within the EU. For whatever reason, people from a number of other (non-EU) countries don't, probably because their main target is the UK.Last edited by m0n1k3r; 27 February 2017, 22:40.Comment
