While he was here, he worked in various minimum wage jobs - barman, labourer in a building site, washing up in a restaurant kitchen etc. Lots of casual work basically. A couple of times, he went 'sod this' to a job and left and got another job within a couple of days. His opinion of young brits being unemployed wasn't high! He couldn't understand how you could be out of work when there are so many jobs out there.
Got any similar stories about middle aged married men with families and a mortgage?
