Why do you think the UK is not part of Europe?

Would you like the non-Brits or non British residents to leave CUK?

Well the whiners and whingers who reckon life is so much better across the water seem to singularly fail to find a forum in which they can indulge in verbal jesting with their new superior countrymen.

Ambivalent. Do as you please.

But why keep throwing bricks at old blighty from overseas? What is the point when you have already voted with your feet?

Just turn around, and keep walking.

Just like you seem to do with your wonderful permie job and permie colleagues?

permie boss, permie wage and permie 'annual review'

[darmstadt]

The educated ones are leaving. Which is only going to make the situation worse in the long run. Yup its a downward spiral, with no mitigating factors.

We've already left...

What part of 'Contractor UK' do you not understand?

I presume that was aimed at sasguru and AtW, both of whom are not contractors...Surely by your reckoning then links such as this should not be on this website.

No, you presume wrong. It was aimed at moaning expats in general.

Given a lottery win, I confess that I would not stop laughing until I stepped off the plane in Malta, but I would not then sign-up to a UK-based website to sit there slagging it off from afar.

True, the UK is not heaven, and it is going through difficult times, but it's nice to know it's there if you need it.

permie boss, permie wage and permie 'annual review'

As I report to the MD, my "annual review" consists of lunch at a good restaurant and a general chat of how the year has been.
After which we horse-trade on divvying up the bonus pot and decide how much over the inflation figure we can get away with for a pay rise.
After that I split what's left among my team.

Ex-public schoolboy crony capitalism at its best
