My experience of using Brits is that they are not working in their normal field. Some arrive here can't get work they're familiar with so start doing things they only did in a DIY capacity - for which they charge exhorbitant rates. When commenting on one such job the reply was that he had to pay his mortgage somehow...... I called a Spaniard out to my oven - no callout charge - he arrived at 7pm took 5 minutes to sort it out - no charge - and I hadn't even bought the oven from the shop he worked for. Would that happen in the UK? Would that happen if I used a Brit here? Give me Spain every time.
