I’m not getting into arguments with racist idiots. .

Scotch mist maybe !
A direct reply to my post , perhaps you have amnesia !?

No…But the sooner I forget you the better.

Don’t call me a racist idiot and I will gladly let it rest ! Better still if it wasn’t directed at me " apologise " because that’s how it came across !

I told you twice. I never aimed it at you.

You posted it as a reply to me. If not meant for me then you won’t mind apologising will you ?!

Are you ■■■■■■■ simple or something? Go and haunt someone else. Why am I supposed to apologise to you?When I clearly stated in the 1st post that I wasn’t. End of chat.

Big vern has spoken and I must bow !
Read your own post. Yeh you covered your ■■■ straight after your jibe, but the inference was plain enough.
Apologise & I will hold my virtual hand out. Are you big enough to do that ■■?

Yeah…You’re simple. Thought so.

our company only employs polish people.

bigvern1:

As I thought not big enough.
You continually insult me whilst all I ask for is an apology to the obvious jibe you made.
You may go ahead & have the last word now. I won’t post on this anymore because it’s like having an discussion with an infant , you resort to insults when you can’t win.
By the way when your doing your Barnstaple round next I’ll mosy over and introduce myself :wink:

I cant see the problem with employing eastern europeans at all, People say “they” come over here and steal “our” jobs, but the way I look at it, if it was round the other way Im sure we’d all be over there doing the same, most ive met have been decent lads only looking to make a wage. like the rest of us. Just my view :smiley:

And it’s a view I share.

Totally agree.
But it’s a fact that migrant workers whatever their nationality , colour , creed or ■■■■■■ orientation, keep wages low. It’s simply supply & demand.

Zero !!!

Won’t find any ever working for me.

Don’t really know a lot about your company, but I’ve seen your trucks about and you seem to have a tidy fleet and I get the impression that you don’t have to advertise for drivers.

But would you really turn down a good driver just because he’s Polish?

I have tried a few in the past. The issue for me is the language barrier, when they are stood next to you it is easier to explain a problem. When they are a thousand miles away somewhere in Europe and there is a problem it is a nightmare as they normally only know basic English. The 2 that I took on cost me a fortune in accidents and mistakes, one missed the exit on the M25 late at night braked really hard and a foreign truck hit him from behind so hard the drivers seat of my truck come away from the mountings. Wrote the trailer off, the whole load was shot forward and had to be restacked. Put the other driver in hospital with quite serious injuries. Another Polish driver bought a load of apples all the way back from Italy, backed on the bay in Spalding and backed onto the bay too hard and 4 pallets fell out the back of the trailer. Another claim. For me more hassle than its worth when I have got a list of British drivers wanting EUROPEAN work.
For me it’s simple, Good kit, attracts good drivers, good drivers look after the kit and do the job properly. Which saves money. My dad (Ray) taught me 10 years ago when I started working for him to look after the drivers that look after you.

Not their fault though is it? I’m sure they’d be happy with a larger wage but what they’re earning here is still more than back home. Could blame the company bosses that are paying the low wages, but then on the other hand, there’s more workers than jobs to they can pay what they like, they’ll always get drivers.

Never Said I blame them.
The point remains that wages are lower because they ( any migrant worker ) is here.
Allowing migrant workers to come in to take up jobs is nothing new. Jamaicans to drive buses in the 60s for example. As working class people we will always be affected by such action.
Blame the government ? Yes but the previous 1.

ABOUT 50% NORTHAMPTON, THEY WORK HARD BUT DO KEEP THE WAGES LOW.
