Don’t get me wrong, I have seen my share of wankers but I was just ruthless and f****d them off….one bad apple will rot the whole barrel but if you give lads a sense of belief and pride then it can be win/win I used to employ lads from all sorts of backgrounds, some of them not very nice but I ended up with a decent little crew of young British lads who were all better men at work than their ordinary everyday life allowed them to be…..real, hard, remorseless graft and them lads made me proud plenty of times.
