If you can find anywhere in the first place in august lol. Some of the foreign guys will happily sleep in the back of a van , it's not for me though , it just continues the race to the bottom no wonder big business loves them , site conditions have all but gone It's the same on the railway especially down south. We had a massive bridge job project and most of the graft was done by Romanian lads who's work ethic pissed all over the Brits who were working there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
