I bet Jonno will find what he wants.

Explain..........me no understand

Yeah funny enough tho, there's only 2 I can think of round here, both of which are fishmoungers, now you wanna talk predjudice...... Damn inbread fishermen

Jonno

Now, if this misspelling is intentional, I doff my cap to the subtle humor. He takes a poke at fisherman, but gets in a bonus jab by making the reader picture "breaded fish", and makes user snicker at those silly breaded fisherman.

If it was not intentional, then some sort of fine should be levied.

Ya, I read the whole thread and that's all I got. Let me get my morning coffee.

Explain..........me no understand

is this job that you are loosing THE perfect job, is it the one you can imagine yourself in for the rest of your mortal days?

probably not as you obviously didnt react fast enough (or maybe too little cash & why not?)

so if this one goes by by - change tends to be good - and maybe next oportunity you will be first and know what you want.

I did look into buying it, if thats what you mean by not acting fast enough?
I could'nt afford it, would have meant I'd be running it alone and working 100 hours plus per week for maybe £100 if I'm lucky, that would be for the first 5 or 6 years.
Did'nt fancy that lol

Oh I'm not worried about finding work, never been a problem for me, I'll just got back to working for myself, but the point is, I do like my job a lot, I never moan about having to go work, cept the one morning a week I have to do, but most of the time I'm happy to go work, thats the main reason I'll be pissed off if I lose it.

Oh and to answer your question: No I would'nt be in this job 4ever, but atm I'm happy in my work.

good to hear you can always work for yourself as is wanting to take over the place - which is the same thing no?
instead of working within a large company.
good for you.

I actually completely agree with Skweeky.

I will use "Asians" for the example:


If you have something to offer that he cannot get to from another Asian, then he will bend to accomodate you, as Jpol stated. It is to your benefit in structuring a business agreement if you have done your homework about a client and understand his cultural backround.


Many immigrants today are either trained professionals or professionals in training, others are people of means. The "wretched refuse" are no longer allowed. Those professionals who wish to work in scientific research, computers, aerospace or whatever, must adapt to the facilities available. That is why most scientific communities offer a broad ethnic profile. No ethnic group has the resources to establish such a vast enterprise, an enterprise which usually remains solvent by relying on government funding. These people are bending to the society, as they have no choice. These are the people about whom we say, "I work with lots of Asians, Indians, and Pakistani's, they seem pretty cool to me, we all get along."

Now, to Skweekys' point, it does not matter what she says or what she knows, she is being excluded from trade simply because she is white. There is absolutely nothing she can do. If it were the opposite, people would be screaming bloody racist murder. Why can we not call these little racist communities exactly that.

As Biggles pointed out (in a different thread), these people usually fade into the culture in the next generation, but we have a strong thriving ChinaTown in San Francisco which has been there since 1911. You can grow up there and never learn English. You want to try and sell something there, buy property there, forget it.

Chinatown is considered a quaint tourist location because it has no real control of the city and people can either go there or not, but it represents a microcosm of the problem of other cultures coming to a land and creating mini-versions of their homelands that are exclusionary to the actual people of that country.

That pisses me off, I don't think it is healthy for that society. Why can they flaunt racism, and we must hold our tongues?

[Skweeky1]

Thank you for clarifying my point hobbes.

That is exactly what I meant. It is not a healthy evolution to create enclaves so they don't have to adapt.
It is racism going to the other extreme, which is just as bad.

Hope everything works out ok, Chunks.
And if it does fall through, at least you have the experience to add to your c.v.
I shall cross me eyes for you, although I'm doing that anyhoo.


I've been told today, not only am I gonna get a decent wage rise, but also they will backdate it to the time I took on the position.

Wrong thread to brag in, huh?
