yeah, it's not just in england that it's hard to get a job in...it's everywhere in europe now. it's that damned european union messing it up for all of us from the u.s.. i lived in spain for 6 months and couldn't find a job at all. granted, during tourist season i may have been able to find one, but all i wanted to do was go to festivals, drink, and lay on the beach...ahhhh spain! what a wonderful country!
