Sorry about your wife's predicament.

However I find the pinoy with two jobs very enterprising and not afraid of work.

If more brits were prepared to do the same instead of harping on about not giving up their 9 to 5's, the country might not be in so much of a mess.

The same happened in Germany years and years ago.
The germans weren't prepared to do the dirty jobs anymore, so the country got swamped with Jugoslavs, turks, Italians, Algerians, Moroccans, greeks,etc.
We were doing anything that came our way, just to make a living and send some money home.
I worked as a waiter, gardner, disc-jockey, putting bits of gearboxes together at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen, selling records in a shop, making pizza, and taxi driving on the sly..... And the bloke I rented the flat from, was a plumber, so from time to time I gave him a bit of help, so that my rent was less for that month.

Oh, well......... Bugger it............
