On my last one that was down to about 20% and whilst some of the difference
was made up by an increase in (still reluctant) locals, about 50% were from
East Europe.

I have no idea whether this is because they would work for less or not.


Its almost certainly that as it is in other fields. The brits who used to
do the jobs haven't suddenly vanished off the face of the earth.

A good example Guardianistas and similar morons love to cite is coffee shop
workers. "Look how the lazy brits won't do the job" they cry, having rarely
been outside the M25 except in an aircraft. If they visited most county towns
they'd find plenty of brits working in coffee chains and doing a fine job.
