Well said, I agree with you. An English Boss would appreciate the hard work and pay you for it.

Well said Anthony, England has been good to a lot of Irish people who wanted to earn a living. The Englishman was great to work for.
You've hit the nail on the head with your comment same as your self I spent 35 years there and I'd do it all again if I could. Regards Dublin.
I’m born and raised in London to two Irish parents. Proud to be Irish all my life but love London as well. Times have changed let’s all move on
