Your Pret point (which extends into the whole coffee shop sector I guess) is a good one but I must stick up for British/English care workers at least in respect of my two elderly relatives in care locally, where British carers are massively in the majority, in fact many come from (ie their family come from) within a few miles of the two homes concerned - pretty dedicated people who either treat the role as a vocation (good for them) or 'just a job' that's a lot better than the alternative (still good)
