How many drivers from Eastern europian country, work in comp

our night shift was at one time 99% e/e,but id guess now its 30% e/e ,since they keep getting sacked for nicking diesel,oil etc :unamused:

the agency i work for has 1 polish and 1 hungarian both good lads both speak good english and will have a good ole grip and whine like the rest of us!

One full time polish driver .And theres 3 or 4 polish from the agency as they are called for.Loads in the warehouse at our depot in bellshill from the four corners of the globe.

Hey boys!
I can’t understand why you don’t like eastern europeans in the country taken over by Indians, Pakinstanis, etc? Just look around. You can spot them easily evwrywhere. Different colour, culture, religion. You can’t have Christmas anymore. It must be called Holiday. No Santa Claus at shops because they feel offended, etc… Oh, and you can’t eat in front of them while they can’t :open_mouth:

So at the end of the day Poles are not so bad, aren’t they?

Anyway, I’m from Poland myself :grimacing:

Most don’t have a problem with eastern Europeans as people. But it’s undeniable that wages have been kept low since their arrival hence the disgruntlement.

Oh yesss…I hope they all die very painful deaths, plus, they have changed parts of Lincolnshire forever, in a negative way :imp:

Idiots…Get a grip on yourselves.

You think they haven’t made a difference ?

I’m not getting into arguments with racist idiots. Not you particularly. I’m just sick of the bashing.
They are asked to do a job and they do it. How many Poles are on here whinging? NONE (Orys defends doesn’t attack.)
I’ve said this many times. I don’t blame them for bettering themselves. Who here wouldn’t want a better standard of life if they could get one? Why have so many Brits emigrated? They all wanted a better life. If offered a job for decent wedge in Poland…I’d be off like a shot.

I dont appreciate bring called an idiot !
Orys can defend himself but I can’t ?
If you think I’m a racist your wrong !
If you think eastern Europeans have not held wages back your an idiot !
I know several eastern europeans and have been there many times, it is not personal. But you cannot deny they have made a negative difference to the British lorry drivers lot. To do so is plain stupid. I do not blame them for coming here atall but our lives are " different " because of it.

It all started way before that when the 2 Germany“s were united and there was an enormous influx of East Germans in to Holland, Belgium and France as well as Western Germany and lo and behold that is where they all got the idea from of allowing Eastern Europeans to follow on after seeing how the influx of ex commies from the East of Germany stagnated wages through just about half of Europe

A very positive contribution to Britian without doubt. :sunglasses:

Interesting to compare the Polish contribution to Britian and the black community/pakistani contribution. :confused: :bulb: :unamused:

I know im competing with Polish for work but can’t say i’ve ever been aware of any other ethnic group after my job or making waves in my chosen career. :confused: :confused: :confused: :bulb: Despite having lived in some of Britians more vibrant multicultral areas. :open_mouth: :unamused: :grimacing:

Too many.

Agreed.
And that view has nothing to do with liking or not liking the economic migrants involved.

Immigrant:
i Chinese,

Oh! So your Chinese?

And Bigvern ( now you’ve rattled my cage ).
I have also worked abroad years ago in Denmark & holland. Why for better wages. Was I liked by the local workforce ? Not particularly ! Did the likes of me hold their wages back ? Yes obviously. Did I care ? Not a jot. But to deny it’s happening is closing your eyes to the plain truth.

What a complete load of Daily Mail style bull

We’ve only got one foreign driver and he’s English :laughing:

So I only imagine the wall to wall advertsing from September each year telling me Christmas is on it’s way.
and I need to buy this and that to have the perfect one.

MadRide:

See plenty of Santa Claus about, but this does offend me. :imp:

I prefer the British Father Christmas and the Anglo German Christmas not the Americanised Santa Claus, and isn’t ā€œHappy Holidaysā€ also an Americanism?
