Yep. I remember, a fair few years back now, I worked with a bunch of guys from (What was just then beginning not to be) Yugoslavia. Things would go wrong, as they do in any workplace, and my fellow Englishmen would get quite irate and the usual prejudice one hears about Slavs started being bandied around.... the amusing thing is, the job always got done! By the Yugoslavians, no less! Whilst they were slowly making their way over to the problem area, we were all too busy moaning, complaining, having mini-nervous breakdowns and ripping our hair out. In the UK people have to look busy... if they don't look busy then they, obviously, aren't. Truth being told all that is really happening is us English are just losing years from our lifespans for no good reason.

Anyway... I'm off to burst a blood vessel now as I ordered a book 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't been delivered...... RAGE!!!!
