    ‘coz the subject is ‘working with other nationalities’. In most cases of those from the sub-continent they completely replace the indigenous work force at a location. So there is little chance of having any experience of working with them.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Stalking you? No... I am just learning from the ginger ninja stud!

            Most people on this board dont take themselves very seirously, you do.. and I find it very refreshing.

            Besides with all the people I am supposedly stalking, I weill need a PA probably. Any takers?

                Oh yes! Bright lads, but tend to think firmly "inside the box". Give them a list and they'll follow it to the letter, but sit back and enjoy the show when something unexpected crops up.

                Oh and very, very, very, cheap.

                  Northern Italians - "We don't drink coffee at work - it would only keep us awake".
                  Southern Italians - fiercely loyal if they like you, vendetta if they don't
                  Swiss - always seem to be worrying that they didn't get the joke
                  Poles - good laugh
                  Russians - also good laugh, but with guns
                  Germans - tend to form tight cliques then take over the company
                  Mexicans - cowboy attitude, but get the job done
                  Australians - to all intents and purposes, same as the Brits
                  Parisians - terrified of their bosses. If you treat the juniors and seniors as just people, they get awfully confused.
                  French (Alsace and Normandy) - relaxed, laissez-faire. But tend to explore all possible options before doing anything constructive
                  Spanish - would rather be having siesta
                  Belgians - always up for a beer before, during and after work
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
