In the 1950,s Britain set up recruitment centres in the West Indies to recruit bus drivers and bus conductors for the UK. There was great difficulty recruiting British people to do many so-called menial jobs for the wages on offer, and there were also recruitment campaigns for jobs in hospitals, The London Underground Railway, and the national railways. Incentives were offered in the form of cheap sea passages, and there were training programs for the immigrants about British Society. Some of these, such as how to queue at a bus stop, seem faintly ridiculous nowadays!
