Sheila, That's why our projects are costing so much money to organise and complete, the days of workers looking for cheap and digs is over, as these project can last for 10-12 years, the reason for foreign workers is because consecutive Govenments stopped train apprentices years ago. now we are paying the price. I was an 'A' class pressure welder with Babcock & Wilcox for years but looked for work overseas as no more power stations were being built in the UK. Didcot B was one of the last.
