Imported Night Worker.
As usual on a Saturday morning, I pulled into the Exmouth Shell station forecourt to buy petrol and a newspaper.
The regular cashier was not on duty and the replacement Asian caretaker said that she was off sick. Luckily she had informed him in sufficient time for him to take over.
I asked him if he was living locally and he told me that he had driven down from London and would return there after his night shift ended at 8 am.
Apparently, the outlet were unable to find a willing replacement near at hand; and as closing was not an option, this chap had made the three hour, 250 mile trip, to fill in; and would make the same journey in reverse, afterwards.
Just another example of why immigrants are often an employer's first preference, and deservedly so.
