I for one don't understand the accolades about the "orange army" true they are working hard and getting paid a very good wage with all the overtime and working at the weekends. However i do agree with Fred. This is a cash cow for some and i don't blame them for taking full advantage of it. Last Sunday i took a walk down Marine Parade and was truly amazed to see one workman shovelling balsast and ...

I have watched Benefits Street and the debate that followed. You have noticed of course there was always money for alcohol and cigarettes and rolling tobacco and perhap the odd drug here and there.

If i remember correctly did he say he advertized for 23 postitions 11 turned up 5/6 left leaving him with 4/5 workers of which were from  Eastern Europe.

I'm not getting involved in this debate this side of Christmas, as much as i would love to so there. On second thoughts how about trying to open a PIG farm in one of their countries ( certain succes for failure ) Or place anyone of Muslim faith in the bakery dept. and ask for a dozen sausage rolls...... sorry couldn't help myself.  Bring it on. Come on Smella show yourself.
