Not meant as bad taste Scott. I've not visited Jersey for 10 years or so but it used to be the case that by far the greatest proportion of immigrants were from Portugal who staffed the many hotels and restaurants and I'm led to believe this had been the situation before either the UK or Portugal joined the then EEC. I thought it was a hard enough place for UK residents to reside and gain employment in as there was a correct local interest in protecting jobs for the locals, keeping down crime etc. I used to deal with a guy at the tourist board and he reckons his family had only been able to get there because his father was a millionaire a few times over.
