 Workmen and work - france - sherlock47
The french work ethic makes the uk worker look good!

however the Moroccan that I use for garden work just does not stop, and in temperatures of over 30C! He is more suited to forest clearance than the finer skills of horticulture but as long as you watch him nothing to disastrous happens.
He turns up early (F never), is always working ,(F never) and takes about 20 min for lunch, (F 2hrs min).
My biggest complaint is that however many times I ask him to fill builders bags only half full, he fills them full and bear hugs them to move towards the car. If we are not immediately decheterie bound we have to unload and distribute them to other sacks as we cannot (between us) lift them into the car.

And all for 14 € an hour.

Just do not get going on the French concept of customer service.
