Thanks Ray and David - I really had no idea where I was going with this one so I very much appreciate both your takes on it.

It struck me when I was writing and re-writing that if I changed a word or two then the whole meaning changed in an instant. I don't think I have ever written anything quite like that before and doubt I could have done it deliberately.

At one point it was veering onto the whole illegal immigrant / slave labour / zero contract debate but that was not what I was intending. Again, thanks.

This is a tragic story Colin. Bleak and with a sense of longing and loneliness, as I see it. It typifies so much that is at the heart of society and its limitations at ground level. A fine punchy piece of work. Love it.
