I'm looking for a relief holiday manager to look after a small boatyard so I can go sailing. No direct experience necessary. Live in. Suit retired couple. PM me for details.

Re: Claymore

Aye, the 'enterprisin chappie' and his boat would be a good idea. However there is of course the problem of the language barrier, we speak an obscure dialect down here known as the Queen's English.

Mick,
anyone who volunteers for anything should be disbarred from ever being allowed to do it.
However, I see your dilemma. Should you go on holiday and have your carefully built business reputation shredded by ineptitude while you are sipping Cocktails in Lloret de Mar, or shut the place and have it ransacked by the local hoodies?

I would be careful about anyone feigning a regional accent, especially if they are residing away from their Motherland.

Have a good holiday whoever 'helps'......
