Which nation’s construction industry is the dodgiest in Europe do you think?
Who’s slides the most backhanders and rigs the most bids? I’ve always been pretty sure it’s not us. In fact, I always had my money on the French. But according to one construction supremo I spoke to the other day, it’s actually the Dutch. “Holland is the seat of construction corruption,” he said.
Whoah, steady on. Surely we can’t just go slandering a nation’s builders like that? “Well,” he replied. “Where do you think the term Dutch auction came from?”
He’s got a point. Shtop! This bribe is not ready yet!
