Times have changed

Went to South Africa in '69 to surf. Liked the area around Jeffreys Bay/ Port Elizabeth. I went to the Ford factory to see about getting a job. No work permit, no job. Went to the immigration dept to see about getting a work permit. No job, no permit. What the *****. Went back to Ford and told them that my work permit was on the way and they gave me a job. Went back to the immigration dept and told them that I had a job at Ford and could I please have a work permit. No problems, got the permit straight away.
You couldn't do that these days.
