A mate of mine worked on oil rigs out off Brazil, all he did was 12hrs on 12hrs off he used to do months at a time on them rigs, not as if he could just nip home back to Selby for a few days, he used to go back to the main land now n then and stay in a hotel for a few nights and have a beer or 2, like he said he went out there to work and earn silly amounts then come back to the UK and buy a house or two,,

One of the productivity problems often cited by employers is that too many UK workers have inadequate skills.

In what came as a shock to the UK, the OECD found in 2016 that England had one of the largest proportions of low-skilled young workers among advanced economies.

But even more worrying, the Paris-based organisation established that young English workers were no more skilled than older employees, suggesting a high likelihood that weak productivity will be difficult to remedy in the coming years.
