Maltese across

A number of Maltese workers are relocating abroad in search of new employment opportunities. From yesterday's Glasgow's Daily Record:

Ten bus drivers from Malta were welcomed to Scotland yesterday as they started a new working life here. They made the 1500-mile trip from the Mediterranean island to work for Stagecoach Bluebird in Aberdeen.

One of them, Emanwel Buttigieg, 41, said: 'I have come here to get away from the heat. In Malta, we work long hours with no air conditioning.' There is a 5000 shortfall in experienced bus drivers across the UK.
