There is of course the flip side, there are many of us English blokes who have had to leave lives and families to work in Italy because the wonderful country that we have contributed to so generously cannot provide us with employment.
All the boys and girls I work with speak very good English and fair play to them. I am trying to learn the Italian lingo and boy is it hard but times is hard life ain't fair.
The advantage of being English is that we don't have to learn a foreign languauge which realistically a disadvatage because it does restrict where we can go.
I've looked at the Jet2 option but to leave a permanent job to get home, to face the ever likely prospect of £57 a week again come October ain't worth the risk unfortunately.
I wish you luck with Jet2 and I have to say the cost of living in MAN is much cheaper than Milan, especially the beer.
