[Mrs. Don-o]

The firm boasts that it is proud to employ French workers and has refused to take on 'low-cost' staff from abroad.

I owe an apology. Yesterday a FReeper commented that they might have had "third rate" restoration workers, and I jumped in and opined they were probably "Third World.

Looks like I was wrong, which is a lesson to me not to speculate about things on the basis of no evidence.

Don’t surrender just yet, Mrs. Don-o. It all depends what the phrase “French workers” means. It could mean that they are all skilled tradesmen, with decades of experience working in France.

Or it could mean a bunch of guys from Algeria who just got their French citizenship a few years ago.

Or it could mean some combination of the two.
