There, fixed that for you.

You see the problem is that the migrant workers are artificially cheap.

If you come from the *general* baltic region in 2000 odd, you come from
a country where a litre of beer is 50p and everything else is
correspondingly as cheap. Not so much now with the general blatic
region, but I expect it is with respect to some of the other parts of E
Europe.

As you area short term migrant, you can live with bunking up in a doss
house with 10 of your mates on the cheap whilst saving your dosh for a
greater cause (and it does apply outwards, think Auf Weidersein Pet" (sp).
