No ownership.

No initiative.

No pride taken in work.

No commitment to deliver.

No enjoyment of hard work.

No integrity to do what you said you would.

Jesus, I can't shake you off. Stop PMing me for f***s sake. I'm sick of it. I told you, i'm not interested.

Are you talking to me?

You are not far wrong. Most of the team are scared of me , including the traders and other business twats.

I'm volatile and getting worse the older I get.

Might shave my arms in the morning.

The one thing I do not understand is that if UK is so bad in every aspect including the command of their own language why everybody wants to come here ????

No ID cards?

I thought that as well and then realised they're not on the table because the people in these countries actually speak better English than native English speakers. I was taught English (I actually spoke French before English) in various foreign countries and upon returning back to England, my English was far more advanced than my peers. I think it has probably got worse in the UK now especially when I speak to young non-English speaking people and see how aware they are of the language yet when I speak to young English people, I tend to get some kind of gibberish back....

Education... in most other countries they don't eff about turning the education system upside down for political reasons every new parliament.

And respect for learning.... On a contract in Frankfurt I once heard someone use the term "puckish", and then ask a German if he knew what it meant. "Yes," said the German, "from Puck, a character in Shakespeare - A Midsummer Night's Dream, wasn't it? Also known as Robin Goodfellow"

The expressions on the faces of the English-speaking contractors there told me that not only would they have no such idea of any equivalent feature of German culture, actually they didn't know as much as that about English culture.

True we do not have much references to literature in UK IT Departments. In addition this particular reference may sound a bit too similar to certain politically incorrect word.

Well, I'm pucked.
