When you two talk about slavery and the idea that FTs are forced to work certain hours, are you suggesting that every fortnight several galleys leave the ports of Shanghai and return with the next moon laden with their cargo of fresh white native English speakers all manacled to one another and trudging slowly towards the open doors of training schools up and down the nation condemned to a lifetime of servitude?

There was me thinking that in order to avoid such places all one had to do was simply not apply for the job in the first place.

Thankfully we have you two heroes out there who have managed to evade capture for this long and can tell us all the terrible stories of woe. Hats off to you both.
