Bulletguy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Long time passing Where have all the waiters gone, not so long ago Where have all the waiters gone? Back to the EU every one of them Oh, when will they ever return? Never, not to a country which made them unwelcome........and now the Daily Wail suddenly realises a sh1ttload of hospitality staff were from abroad and Brits won't work for low pay, the pubs open after lockdown, and now there's no-one to pull your great British pint. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9514673/Britains-bouncing-pubs-restaurants-booming-problem-shortage-staff.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdbrain Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Since easing of lockdown my missus has eaten twice locally with no service issues ... Just had 5 days cycling on our government backed bikes around the lovely East Yorkshire coast, had 2 meals out with no service issues ... The Ship Inn had 5 staff waiting on folk and all of em spoke their mother tongue English perfectly ... Sometimes reality gets in the way of hatey scaremongering ...

GarySueLola Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 pelmetman - 2021-04-29 7:48 AM So plenty of job opportunities for those who lost theirs due to the Pandemic B-) ......... Trouble is if they voted for Brexit their mind-set will be that such work is below them because they feel they are a superior race born of the british empire so they'll just hang around home dragging their knuckles along the ground blaming the germans for starting the second world war and not being able to play football in 1966.

Bulletguy Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 We aren't talking of isolated cases here where the village tea shop had no applicants for a counter assistant or a town pub unable to get a bar worker. It's heads of the entire hospitality industry. Jeremy King, the co-founder of the restaurant group Corbin & King, told i: “Nobody quite realised how many people we had from Europe. “They were marooned here in the pandemic and were treated quite badly. We have a Home Secretary who shows no respect for the sector, our third largest employer. “They headed home and some don’t want to come back, and who can blame them? Others who do can’t get back." https://tinyurl.com/m2p7byv9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtainRaiser Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 So who to believe? The directors of the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce and Cumbria Tourism, or Tweetiepie? Well it looks like the survey carried out by the paper provides a accurate answer. Our survey says: 223 vacancies across 75 establishments. Average of three vacancies per establishment. 75% of establishments are hiring now. 71% of places hiring need front of house and 65% need chefs. A quarter of places not hiring have just taken on new staff. Most in need: 1: Derwenidioter Hotel, Portinscale (19); 2: North Lakes Hotel, Penrith (15): 3: Another Place, the Lake, Ullswater (12).

Probably his staff have done what he told them to do last year. https://tinyurl.com/5c77zuvy The bloke is a despicable two faced hypocrite and wanted Brexit but now it's backfired on him he's changed his tune. I've no sympathy as he's brought it on himself. He could of course simply pay a better wage and offer decent working conditions so that he can attract UK nationals. After all, part of the reason people wanted Brexit in the first place because they claimed FOM apparently depressed wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
