If the EU was as good as they demand we consider it, why canāt they have ā ā ā ā -wiping linguists available at collective expense to assist uni-lingual retards like us help financial refugees drawn to our island line their pocketsā¦?

they are motoring along so much in poland, the government are struggling to cope with inflation.
the polish economy will be on par, or better than ours within the next ten years.
thatās when they will bring turkey into the EU as there will be shortage of cheap labour once again.

fair play to them i work out of felixstowe all the while and the eastern europeans get away with murder we have to abide by the rules and when they donāt and u say anything all u get is they do not understand let me say this they understand every thing and are just taking the p#ss out of us on the ro ro trls they get the longest runs and the lightest loads and when work is quiet it is the English who stands while johnny foreigner works and at night when u are parked up the most common language is polish and u are hard pressed to find a englishman to have a conversation with how can this be right sorry i forgot we live in england were every body has rights and free medical care except the working englishmanthe reason for this is: a lot of the english drivers are militant, jobsworth, moaning pricks. they love rules and regs, they love to say āi canāt do this, i canāt do that, thatās against the lawā etc etc.

Was in a container depot in felixstowe yesterday, when waiting to book in I had a quick read of there site rules.
One was,If you dont have a full understanding of the English language, written or spoken, you cannot enter our site and will have to leave
, due to health and safety reasons.
Never come across this particular rule before, a few places I have been to have multi lingual notices.
How would they know the rules if they cant read it?

Felixstowe is in England, the rules are in Englishā¦ whats the problem.
i deliver to a worldwide chemical company with depots all over the UK, and what astounds me is that every depot has a different health and safety policy and different type of warning alarms. i would have have thought a basic thing for a company would be to have a uniform warnings policy, but no every site i have to do an induction.
Brenntag?
Yep. 
limeyphil:
iām undecided with this.
i can see where theyāre coming from, but why not just have the site rules in several languages?
What good does that do when the yardman, banksman or forkie is giving you instructions in english?
some people born here,understand full eNGLISH LANGUAGE,BUT WHEN COMPANY GIVE TRAINING for H@S.they nothing understand.all depend.this problem not just in England,in any country.but some British internation drivers as well not full understand gERMANY LANGUAGE ORā¦SAME SOME INFORMATION there in English language
The Danes make a big thing of publishing Goverment paperwork only in Danish. Therefore, if you want anything from the State (like citizenship etc) you need to know Danish.
Now, if the all welcoming, tree hugging and thoughtful Danes can insist on a working knowledge of their language. Why canāt a crummy container depot in the UK do the same?

Good boys I completely concur with their logic, Iāve worked all over Europe and can speak 6 languages enought to do my job and enjoy my time there, i sonāt go with the nooo speaking Eenglish crap I hear on a daily basis, if you aināt got the tools donāt attempt the job
English is the acceptedā¦International Language.
Thatās why English speaking nations donāt need to speak another language. Simples.
HTH.

I do think that this rule has come a bit late to make a difference, so why bother?

What firm do you work for?
Theres normally a few visbeen units down there but i was told most of them are english drivers but not sure about that personally. Personally iād say 70% are uk motors. The main reason we dont go across the pond i think is because most operators are scared to, theres plenty we could take out there but weād rather pass it on.
the australians have the right idea " if you are not prepared to learn our language and repect our culture , feel free to leave our country " .

Great idea 
they would have so many signs for so many nationalities there wouldnāt be any space left for the containers
Isnāt this how the French are too ?

āā¦the polish economy will be on par, or better than ours within the next ten years ā¦ thatās when they will bring turkey into the EU ā¦ā
Iāve highlighted the suggestion how easily accepted - but very poison brain-food over the years has consistently forgotten the fact that the British electorate have not specifically been consulted about British political direction in the last 38 years. However, using āā¦theyā¦ā surely indicates that the poster acknowledges - but wearily supports (?) āweā not being allied to āthemā
Maybe weāve given too much tolerance to such unified Euro-creeps as Bliar, Brown, Ca-moron & Clegg who snidily & smugly suckle up to the bullying lefties of the failed project on our bickering behalf
Why let faceless administrators tell us what to do, ie āTurkeyās coming inā within this so-called (but not-so) democratic era We are clearly getting unhappily & unsatisfactorily diversified amongst ourselves as site contributors - just as āweā are as a nation over whether, eg,. the English language is good enough for (unfortunate? Poor them!) foreigners to fathom at a British container port
If I entered a marathon without a pair of running shoes, should I blame society for not providing them
Of course notā¦
So why be deluded that āā¦theyā¦ā give a stuff about our diluted - to the point of being meaningless democracy when ātheirā desire is to nanny us into conceding to ātheirā failing, ie, multi-bolleux, multi-lingual and ābring-in-Turkey-to-keep-wages-suppressedā type ambitions
As the thread asks us, it isnāt necessarily āā¦common-senseā¦ā for those in Puppet Power to seek our opinion on the issue - but it would go a long way to indicate that those same Puppet leaders [sic] actually give a stuff on our behalf. Which they donāt
Until then, Iām not averse to helping any working or holidaying foreigner fare well in the UK until he gets all cocky to begin demanding stuff from us, his host, who is down to the bones of his ā ā ā ā in recession to pay for supporting his Euro lumbered country to the too often detriment of mine.
Good post Happy Keith.
We the electorate have been putting the same spineless money grubbing two timing traitors in power for bloody years, when the next election comes lo and behold the electorate will put the same bunch of thieving crooks back and expect a different end result after all the meaningless soon to be broken promises, and onwards ad infinitumā¦
Is this the definition of insanity?
