SOFIA (Reuters) - After trying for 20 years to eke out a living as the owner of a driving school in Bulgaria, Zlatinka Zlateva finally gave up last September and took a job as a nanny in Britain.
"I got so angry about everything. I closed the school and two days later I flew to London," said Zlateva, 51. "In Britain, on a minimum wage, I can afford a trip to Paris. In Bulgaria, you work, you own a company, and when you tot everything up, you realise you have nothing."
