    Oh dear. I realise I'm making the fatal mistake of treating this troll as if he is a real person, but anyway...

    What "lost causes" am I defending, and where was I wrong?
    What do you mean by Bob? An offshored, low-skilled resource? That's what was pointed out - that the offshore partners in eastern Europe were low skilled. If you want to cry out that your race is superior to others then go ahead.

    Most, if not all, of Czech Republic is in the east, all of Poland is, a bit of Germany is.

    Talk to the people who issued it. I cannot stand this ugly environment, where people get so obsessed about Eastern Europe that it completely clouds their judgement and stops everybody from going about their jobs.

    What a tool. Whoever these people are, they are far too good to be working with you. You have problem dealing with your cognitive dissonance, no wonder it makes you feel uncomfortable.

    Those claiming CUK has gone soft may have a point, it used to be more like 3.

    If there was a basic level of competency in spoken English then most of people on this forum won't get a job ...
