I think thats the major problem, it appears to me that as British there is not as strong a support network as other nationalities, making it easy for them to work etc.

Think about it, we all laugh or comment on families of poles or whoever livving in a small house to cut down outgoings, or shring the responsibilities. You have a strong family netwrok, it enables the individuals to work for less money as the outgoings are split, work unsocial hours etc etc etc.

Businesses are more family run, and family ties are stronger. I know of a number of asian families that are able to afford lovely houses, posh cars etc because the family arrangement. And in this day and age, who can blame them.

I may be wrong, just my opinion
