Oh yes, I remember this person as a rep for SMS. Shifty – not what you might consider your typical hospitable, “service with a smile” kind of guy.

And now he is obviously the Del Boy type (of which there are plenty in Malta; they have walked out of their smelly closets everywhere) who is trying his hand at everything.

In reply to xejn b' xejn. Gosh! Seven years to learn how to cook? Then the medicine course should be increased to at least 15 years.

ITS is known now as the Institute tat-Tahwid Sistematiku.

All is havoc. Students are being transferred daily from one block to another, Lecturers are drained and most of them look and feel as if they have lost hope. And to make things even worse, the board of directors is a board of amateurs and unfit-for-purpose individuals.

Adrian Grech Cumbo was heard boasting after the general elections that he was approached by PL to vote for them in return for which he will be rewarded.

Besides, he “had a lot of experience in tourism”.

In reply to Katrin.

No, at SMS he was handling the tourist traffic originating from Scandinavian countries.

He was shown the door and he took his business with him to Traveltrade, where he was also shown the door after a couple of years.

He was then working in a shop in Msida selling rattan furniture and ornaments from the Far East and later on taking care of a clothes shop on the Strand close to the Nazzarenu church.

Before SMS he was self-employed in tourism and before that he worked as a salesman in a men’s clothes shop in Ordnance Street in Valletta.

Most probably , the sum total of his experience in tourism was oogling the Scandinavian bints sunbathing topless by some hotel poolside.

He may be the whistleblower who who informed Il-Mument on the Chinese workers’ plight. He clearly knew, way back in June 2011, that Leisure Clothing were selling their “staff”.

Hmmm, he also seems to know they are ‘professional’ – perhaps he had access to happy endings.

No wonder why the I.T.S is in such a state at the moment.

Students got a THIRD schedule change in as many weeks.

Food preparation (chefs) courses are 5 years long and for a restaurants service certificate it can take you as much as 7 years.

Total disaster for the students and for the hospitality industry.

Is he really talking about a company which sells staff who are really professional? Or has he no idea how stuff is spelt?
