I just wanted to post a quick message here to say Thank You to all
the
staff who turned up to work on the underground on New Years Eve and
into the early hours of New Years Day.


My pleasure.

Mine too...... fancy meeting you here, Robin ;-)

Hi Steve

[waves]


I think he wants to know so he can say "see...they only did it gor the
money
not for us Londoners".

And no one offered me £187!!!

"gor the money" does lead to images of currency being tortured

If you meant "for the money", not at all. After all, can't that
criticism be levelled at everyone.

No...thats gore. With an e on the end.
I certainly did mean for....i will try harder ni future. Ooooops..there it
goes again.

As for the payment earned, i suspect its not a reluctance to say, its just
they probably dont know exactly what they will get until it arrives in Feb.
And possibly much later going on last years payments for working that time.
Its all very complicated. I'll look in the morning.....
I for 1 didnt know there was extra payments...if its a rostered shift you
just turn up and do it.....no extar money for working public holidays...no
extra day off for working public holidays. All in the salary.
Incidentally....did you know that the Govt figures show the average worker
gets 25 days off a year plus the 8 public holidays. Thats 33 days a year.
Tube staff get 37. So its must be the extra 4 for the shift allowances.

And these guys aren't upset....you want to see upset, go ask a ticket tout
to leave a station.....Thats upset.....
