    I returned to the UK a few months ago. My current plan is to get out permanently ASAP. It's a tuliphole and the job market is ****ed.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Airports must be in chaos every couple of weeks as hordes of CUK'ers and their friends rush to leave the country after each latest bit of bad news!

        Form what I have seen, it seems most UK airports are in chaos more or less constantly.

          The killer for the UK will be when the last UK worker is outsourced or Bob'ed and all the big consumer facing companies wonder why no-one can afford to buy their products.

          Place I'm at now announced huge successes in their efficiency and customer complaints reduction efforts then in the next paragraph said that that meant they no longer needed 600 people and those jobs would be outsourced. Yay for business ethics and employee relations!

              Oh I don't know. Life in a nice area of London is very pleasant and my sector is booming.
              Hard Brexit now!

                In your sector, I have heard you described as "the cream" sasguru.
                The thick bit you get at the top obviously!

                  We went from the great egg race to the apprentice. Heinz Wolf to Sugar, Professor of Engineering to Labour knighted barrow boy pedaling quick rich scheme ideas to children. Thanks feck I will be retired by the time his young fans get into the office place and think aggressive one up man ship is better than collaborative work practices.


                  I needn't tell you engineering experience out here is somewhat different.
