      I saw that. The whole series was a parade of numpty halfwits who failed miserably to check ahead about that sort of thing. Knobs.

        I saw that series too. There was one chap who did well, but I doubt if he'd have managed without his missus pushing him (and founding a successful business herself along the way).

        Time and again, the rest of them were buying property and brand new cars before they'd established a decent income stream. Duh!

            I reckon they figured 'coz theyis british they could sign on at the airport.

            I did see one idiot who didn't go through any of the courses and then complained that he never got a decent job.

            One guy I knew took most of the qualifications for the Canadian gas fitter and electrian courses and exams here. When he landed he pretty well had the work already lined up!
