Bideford is a bit isolated really. He should be fine. One of my sons has been in that line of work for a few years now and has never had any problems finding jobs.
    £4 per hour and as many pairs of six fingered gloves you can handle.

    My brother is looking to start work there in the next couple of weeks and relocate nearby. Currently he's based at the other side of Devon (near Bideford) so doesn't know the area all that well, but it seems to be a main hub for the line of work he's in (driving vans and the smaller trucks).

    Is he in for a shock?
