Bob says you are all lazy bastards

The British have a crap work ethic

IT contractors excluded of course, they are model professionals who'd never waste time by posting tulip on some internet forum during work time.

I live in Bradford, I don't see your point

Thought you lived in Leeds! I'm Pudsey area, fancy some trolley racing at Owlcoates?

Mr Tata, you may have noticed that most people in Britain live in clean, well maintained houses in neighbourhoods with proper roads, sewage systems and even some nice trees to freshen the air. They quite like being at home because in most cases, it's quite a nice place with a nice roast chicken in the oven. Maybe people in India stay at work longer because for many of them, going home involves leaving a comfortable, clean, air conditioned office to traipse through open sewers and piles of garbage and dying lepers on the way to a cramped and dirty little shack in the hope that their wife's scraped together enough rice for them to have a meal before grabbing a few hours kip in one room with the rest of their extended family.

But of course, Mr Tata, I expect you've forgotten how most people in India live.

Britain got to where it is (or was) by being dirty and smelly and people working damn hard to change it. They're just catching up.

From my experience of dealing with Indians they tend to have 3 main flaws

1. An inability to plan properly
2. An inablity to admit when the plan is falling apart
3. An inability to deal with the tulip hitting the fan as the plan falls apart

I'd add another - Face-saving...

I've lost count of the number of times I've said to a Bob, now you understand that, can you do it and received a blank featureless 'Yes' when you know the real answer is 'No, but I can't admit I don't know'

They won't admit they have any sort of gap in knowledge, fudge it over and next it's Crisis Management on the phone....

I've worked with and had very good Indian teams I'll have you know. It all depends on how you manage people.
