Spanish "bob a job"

[Sqad]

Eight teenagers, four boys and four girls, well dressed and polite, have just rang the bell at the gate and asked if they could "work for their lunch"......gardening, sweeping up or cleaning. Their reward would be, their lunch.

We have just had our lunch, but mrs sqad gave them�20.

Could this happen with UK teenagers?

[ummmm]

Yes....I think it could.

[Sqad]

ummmm.....LOL....don't waste your words.

OK Has it happened in the UK?

a woman across the road from me has window cleaners as she is away a lot - they don't even have a bucket!!! A ladder and a damp chamois....I couldn't believe it...the chamois hangs out of one bloke's back pocket...god knows how much she pays them...

it might happen, dangerous to generalise, but there are them as those that might expect 20 euros each rather than 2.50 each, as well as a pizza.
