B&Q visit
« on: 27 May 2007, 19:45:55 »

I went to B&Q today, while standing by the outdoor timber a old man dressed in orange asked me if I wanted decking, so I got the first punch in ;)

I always pretend I am foreign and usually works. I remember saying to a double glazing woman at B&Q once that 'I thought she was a filthy scrubber' in Dutch. I regretted it, she was from Rotterdam. Oh boy, did she call me a few names. Most of which were physicaly impossible anyway.

I also tried this at birmingham airport when I found I had dropped the wife at the airport and then forgot my wallet when it came to leaving, so I drove to the barrier and yelled a lot in Zulu (yes I can speak it). They got a cleaner from somewhere who actually spoke Zulu to help me. I did get out free, but had to promise to marry this guys goat or something. :-[

There has'nt been a building site I have been on for almost 2 years if not more, where there are no eastern europeans, and on some they are all Europeans, which is not good when as the client you walk on a site and try to ask a question and they can't f****n understand a word >:(

What I do now is pre-arrange a meet on site with the contactors contract manager (all of whom speak english), not saying they can't all understand some understand bits, but that does'nt help me.

I have 2 Polish guys working for me, sent to me by head office, both can speak good English and they are goods lads, they have gone through it in their country, both hard working, just want to make something of their lives and give their families a better way of life.
Live and let live I say.

I cant even speak wigan-ese! lived here all my life, learnt to speak properly from an early age to avoid sounding as unintelligent as many of them do!!

my parents are from southport, which i suppose is a slight positive!
