A letter from accross the water

I'm not sure if this is good or bad really but I have fallen into Perl as not to many people here in Britain seem to won't to do it. The company I am currently contracted to could only find 3 people in the country with the correct skills to do the job, dispite advertising and using agencies.

I really tried hard to get a Java job, as I had spent a long time learning it, and belived it to be the future(I fell for the hype on that one). I'm really enjoying the Perl work but do get a bit frustrated at times. But it seems to be a lucky accident that I get paid for doing Perl especially as a very quick search on a UK site returned 253 jobs needing Perl skills and 50 of those where in London and the South East.

Remember Britain is very small

update Think about a job in Britain for a while I can recommend it.
