More british jobs for italian workers

[DodgyAgent]

DA

To understand that - you have to live in Italy itself - in some ways living in Italy is a little like following in Love with a prostitute.

More than this - I am eternally greatful to Rome - that Alf - a nobody from nowhere - lived and worked in the Eternal City for a year.

It changed my view of the World in ways I cannot describe.

And I even met Francko there too.

I did say "in terms of work" as opposed to food, sh@@@ing, culture etc etc. I am intrigued to know why on Earth Italians would be more suitable to work in the subprime, subsistence, subzero North Lincolnshire than Northern British neanderthals.

...or indeed why they would want to work in Grimsby.

In terms of work and business what exactly can the Italians teach us?

Multi-lingualism and two-hour lunch breaks

Oh - now I see what you mean.

Well bearing in mind that in Belgium the Italians are the 3rd biggest national group (after the the French and Dutch) this was due to after the War they immigrated en masse to the South of Belgium to man the Coal Industry - and that is a tough job.

So they are certainly grafters if they put their mind to it.

Multi-lingualism and two-hour lunch breaks

They only take two hour lunch breaks with the Brits; translating everything makes every conversation take twice as long.

I wasn't saying I had any objections . It takes at least 20 mins to work your way through the lunchtime wine list.

They are rubbish workers. We had some of them over to build us a wall, blooming thing has fallen down already

Aye, but I bet large chunks of it are still standing long after the typical Barratt house has crumbled.
