Maybe it is time to stop whinging, face reality and get on with it. A neighbour who was made redundant took the right attitude from the start.
He and his wife got out the paint brush and decorated rooms in the house. They have signed up to take in foreign language students over the summer. His own kids will spend the summer in tents and wooden houses in the back garden, which they love.
When the rush of summer students is over they will continue taking in one adult foreign language student out of season as he has a spare room. It is additional income coming in which will pay the bills while he continues looking for work.
I think this is a better alternative than ringing Joe Duffy and whinging that you are going to lose the apartment in Croatia
I would agree with you,however i do think some people have a valid reason to complain,but the porter and nurse dont seem to have any reason!! that i can see at least.
Theres no doubt that there will be a shortage of students available as more and more people apply to take them.ANd in fairness theres only so much paintng of a house one can do.
