More From Romania (Literally)

[FredPuli43]

British companies are recruiting thousands of Romanian workers to plug gaps in the highly skilled jobs market and fill posts spurned by Britons.
As border restrictions are lifted today, UK employers are advertising 4,896 posts on the main Romanian jobs website, ranging from care home workers to taxi drivers and hotel staff. More than 62,000 jobs were advertised in Romania in 2013, up from nearly 42,000 two years earlier.
Employers looking to fill jobs with new blood from the former Communist country include Hilton Hotels and the health service. The first recruitment fair in Romania for NHS specialist nurses was held by the University Hospital of South Manchester Trust in Bucharest last month.
Strict limits on the number of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria who can settle in Britain are lifted today. Ministers are under pressure not to allow a repeat of the mass migration of Poles that occurred after the EU was expanded in 2004.

Dee Sa, in Polish the word for toes means "little fingers", and knowing that Polish is related to a lot of other languages, I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to find that the meaning is similar in those too.

My wife's first language is Polish and even though she has been using English for close to 50 years, she still occasionally slips up in that way.
