Yours Truly has a soft spot for the country that is Bulgaria.
However, having purchased a 28-room mansion just outside Sofia (for less than the price of a Fortnum & Masons hamper), getting staff to run the property has proved somewhat of a challenge.
It seems that the native population has gone native and... er... gone to the UK.
Now Guru is all for European integration but when it starts to affect his own small world view it becomes a bit of a chore. A chore that no-one is prepared to take on, it seems.
So ads have been placed in the shops of Timbuktu as Guru feels there's little chance of that fine city's residents absconding without the help of an unscrupulous gangmaster or a leg up from Yours Truly.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian mansion remains a cold and distant place, but perhaps springtime will see an influx of hungry Mali-folk keen to please their new boss.
It goes without saying that there will be a serious vetting process as in the CLIMATE OF FEAR that still pervades the Western world, importing people from the home of Islam is potentially not such a smart move.
