I don't believe I have indicated anything otherwise. I happened to explain in depth why i thought the opposite.

I feel bad for the ones with qualifications who could really contribute to society yet can't find work or have to work minimum wage. But the Hungarian guys seemed a bit like chancers really, no real prospects and looking for the easy life.

And their comments to what they see are just brutally honest, it probably is a culture shock to the place they have in their minds, see on TV and hear about. Especially some parts of London

I agree.

I think the chav looking Hungarian was watching a bit too much travel channel and was looking at Britain from a tourist's pov. Actually that's an issue they all seemed to share.

And I'm afraid the Czech girl was simply unaware she was making racist comments. "We're living with black people but we don't really mind, because they're friendly" that got me rofl.

I also agree - I do think she was completely unaware of how her comments may have come over, I do not think there was malice or intent to be racist.

Partly I agree in that he seemed to think he had what it took to be a translator.

It's fine to laugh (and yes, I did think.... ha ha, you're not that smart)... but after about 2 seconds I realised that at least he could speak 4 languages despite his young age.

How many in this country, UK born and bred caucasion British Citizens can speak 4 languages? Not many, with a high proportion having very limited English skills, never mind any other language far less a third or a fourth.

Being able to speak a language is very different from the written form - the guy did seem to have a 'rose tinted' idea - I can't deny that - but as I say, regardless of where he learned the languages: he spoke them well enough for the agency worker to verbalise with him. It was his written work that caused him the issues.
