/// He said the 'level of influx of multi-national workers in this country has sort of confirmed how lazy as a nation we are - when individuals from across the seas are prepared to come and work twice as hard for less money'. ///

Does he realise that it may be less money to us but a great deal more than they can earn in their own countries, which in turn keeps our earnings low, why else do they clammer to come here?

[Mamyalynne]

Thanks for your honesty TTT, I'd want more to look quite so...

[Islay]

Oh hereIam I wouldn't call you that! Don't be hard on yourself!

[hereIam]

Aww thanks Islay.

[Islay]

Your welcome ;-)

[hereIam]

Thanks again ..

GR is actually quite a decent chap who wants to see folk meet their potential and not waste it.

There's actually more to the article than 'Gordon Ramsay Slams The Lazy Brits'

Are you saying that some millionaires are not also 'Utter Prats'?

I always thought that he is a DH, he has confirmed that I am right.

Ramsey's image as a wtanker is that, an image - if he actually behaved like that with his staff, there would be a mass walkout, whatever his stars.... his fastidiousness with restaurant hygiene is well known and, in my experience, the cleanliness of two and three star Michelin restaurants is legendary, worthy of many a grand prix racing team...surgical precision and all that.

I think it would be very interesting to have a situation where jobs in restaurants and, say, picking in Cornish fields for daffs and veg were offered to Brits first, maybe a month or six weeks first offering. How many of our unemployment queue go for such work? My supposition maybe a very small percentage but I would like to be surprised.

Not really a surprise. *** off the country that has given you a decent living. Seems to be a British trait.

As the unemployment level is now at the lowest for 43 years, the number of 'work shy scroungers' must also be at a 43 year low.

[Baldric]

AOG, thank you for the Petty comment @ 15:12, but I have failed to find where I said that.
GR has a reasonably High Profile and as such it should be obvious to anyone with a brain that he is not an Utter Prat.

[pixie374]

He certainly acts like one. I couldn't count the number of nationalities of people i've worked with in residential homes and hospitals. There are no clues there to how hard somebody will work.

You went to great lengths to supply details of the great wealth that Ramsay has created for himself, a millionaire in fact, and then you put:

/// Not exactly my idea of an 'Utter Prat' to be honest! ///

[ummmm]

No many utter prats make millions from not having much. It takes hard work and determination.

[Baldric]

///Baldric

Are you saying that some millionaires are not also 'Utter Prats'?///

It really should be obvious to an intelligent person like yourself AOG that that is not what i'm saying, because, err, I didn't say it.

[hereIam]

I do not give a stuff what anyone says, he is still an utter prat for making that comment.

[ummmm]

How many people do you employ hereIam?

[hereIam]

ummmm - make any comment you like, ask any weird question you like, he is still an utter prat and that is now my last comment on the matter, oh except that he is an utter prat ...
