yes, I have also been involved with the Filipino fishermen working on our Scottish fishing boats. It is good to report that they now have a working visa which will last 18months and they are now living onshore and not on the small fishing boats.We do not know what will happen at the end of the 18 month visa. Many of these lads were merchant seafarers but could not find work so turned to fishing.
I have purchased the Rosetta Stone course, thanks.
And thanks for the welcome.

Welcome Richa!
There are filipino fishermen here as well. They are sometimes based at Fraserburgh, Aberdeen and some moved to Northern Ireland.

sorry penny, i'm not a big seafood eater. only eat it now and then. i stay and work here in edinburgh, but i own a flat up in fraserburgh so i am up there during some of my days off. but i am sure that when minie does finally come over, we will end up with far more fish in the freezer/fridge.

Oh sorry! You are like my husband who doesn't like seafood? But he like fish fingers. But since I arrived, our freezers is full of seafood and he's complaining as no more space for his meat.
