MMMmmmm.........................

, Well two weeks ago I appointed a company for a 1.7 million pound contract, and the day after our legal section sent an e-mail out stating there were concerns regaridng the said companies performance, I thought s**t

. So after a few phone call to Head of legal, Head of Procurement etc., decided to pull them in for a meeting, sent them an e-mail listing all the areas of concern so they knew what information to provide at the meeting. Anyway did'nt expect them to say anything other than everything will be fine etc., etc.,.
Anyway one of my penultimate questions thats was'nt in my e-mail to them was, Can you advise me how many europeian operatives you will have on site, they looked at me kind of in amazement, I said well I went on site where europians are working and tried to explain to them who I am, and they could'nt understand a word of what I have said to them. The contractor said well we only employ europeians that can speak english due to Health & Safety.
