I just suspended 5 workers for theft, thanks to Adrians hard work for the last 6 months..... It amazes me how these guys continue to steal like this, especially with work being so scarce... 2 of those workers worked for us for almost 13 years........

If they were suspended, does that mean they will be coming back again?

Seems to be a favourite pasttime of some South Africans. There seems to be a culture here that if you steal from a business or someone that has more than you, it isn't a sin.

They all will have a hearing next week, but they will all be fired, we have video evidence..... if they were wise, they would resign before the hearing....

ha!ha!ha!ha! on the whole accent thing and being understood; I've sent you out a book titled 'The feckin book of Irish sayings for when you go on the batter with a shower of savages', so basically if you read up this book you will understand perfectly what we say or at least what we mean when we say it................and yes I enclosed an animal bar as well...........

Rhona... it's not me I'm worried about...it's the masses, I understand the accent...

Maybe when the book arrives, you can hold night classes and when everyone has a handle on the accent, then maybe we can relook into me getting a job???

Good plan 99..........maybe we can set up our colony beside the Scotts
Title: Re: Durban Weather today!
Post by: Michael Alexander on February 11, 2008, 06:25:56 PM
WHAT? All four of us scots, actually in Omund there are only 11 scots left..... (that includes the half jocks, rockjocks...)

we'd never get any work done in the colony, it will be a sing song and whiskey stills everywhere...
