Could someone ,prefrebly a proper islander tell me why there are so many scots?

Question

Irish and polish living on Jersey.what I see of most of them whilst I was over there they havent got a pot to pee in so it cant be for tax reasons,the bars are full of jocks and paddies day and night and all the hotels,shops and bars have polish working,do they get their social security sent over to them or what?Its not a cheap place to live ,so could someone explain how they survive,I would be very grateful to find out

Answer 1

Since you're not racist, you probably grate at the terms 'jocks and paddies' too :)

Answer 2

Bit of a racist aren't you

Answer 3

If this really is a burning issue for you, I suggest you go back to Jersey and approach some of them - possibly in the pubs they frequent - and have it out with them face to face. That way, you will have an answer. Not necessarily a satisfying one if they decide to bust your face open after taking exception to your viewpoints, but an answer nonetheless.

I hope this is of some help.

Answer 4

...this is an incredible question. Incredibly bad.

Answer 5

I'm not from jersey but I would think most of them worked over there in the tourist industry.

Answer 6

whatchoo talkin' 'bout willis?

Answer 7

Because, contrary to popular belief, there are lots of areas in Scotland where there are very few jobs and Scots are obliged to move to get work. Your remark about Social Security is quite offensive. Many Scots go to Jersey where they can get a live-in job where ther are tips from all the tax exiles and live in a warmer climate for the summer.
