That is not a sentence you see every day. But an impression is all attributable to the few people you meet. I have met a dozen Romanians here in Tenerife, and I don't think any of them can read and write, and they have difficulty using cutlery. They are employed in building work because they work a hundred times harder than Canarians for half the wages. These are the other end of the educational spectrum.
