Don't blame you for leaving early, what was the wage? I fecked Belgium off mainly 'cause I missed home, but other factors were working 14/15/16 hr days for £500 p/month being a gardener (not my career choice). Sticking with my 'normal' 37.5hr job on £1.5k p/month and I'll never complain about it again lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get your head down and get stuck in, mouth shut and learn. You were lucky you got a chance, alot of lads dont!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
