Default Tube staff are given 52 days holiday

My personal opinion is that people like you and the bone idle tube staff
are going to have a nasty dose of reality kick you up the backside one day
when some future government calls their bluff and fires the lot of them.
The miners, dockers, electricity workers and others all thought they were
vital and hence invulnerable and look what happened to them when they
pushed
their luck too far. I do so hope I'm there to see it when it happens to
Bob Crowe or his successors and his cronies.

Unless this is an online persona, you must be an awfully bitter person.


You think? Perhaps its because the last tube strikes last year caused me no end
of hassle plus lost earnings (being self employed). And I doubt I'm the only
person who experienced that. And why? Because a bunch of already overpaid and
overpandered workers wanted even more cash. And where does that cash come from?
Well lets look at how ticket prices have gone up in recent years.
