The use of the word 'routine' was erroneous. <br /><br />Soub, Yes I knew about that and they would not take any chances. Has that idiot been caught yet?<br /><br />Jerry, Why?

He was from Shiraz, and had been a professional musician in an orchestra. In his youth, he'd been a wrestler, at national and international level, which, he said, was always a worry, as a musician, he could not afford injuries.<br />But then the funding for the orchestra went, and he trained as a welder. The company he worked for recognised his abilities, and sent him to the university school of engineering here, along with one other. His wife and child came to England too, and all was well, until one day he was called to the Bursar's office, and told his fees had not been paid. Nor had his rent, nor his subsistence fees. <br />Nobody in Iran was answering. The company was no more. There was no money coming to keep him here, and none to take him home. No home to go to, it had been a company apartment, and people in his home town said it had been sold, and bulldozed.<br />So he's driving a Taxi, 16 hours some days.<br />Trying to save enough money to become an underwater welder in the North sea. He says that though he's a very accomplished technical welder, of course, his certificates mean nothing here, so he needs a job to let him get EU recognised papers. <br />Until then, taxi. High costs to rent the taxi, and pay the dispatchers office, and so far, the income isn't making much inroad on the bills owing. <br />It was a sad story, a man homesick for the mountains, for the blossom of spring trees, the sparkling waters of his past life, and he could see no way back that he could afford, and no way forward either.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.com
