Now I know all I need to know about you.


If there's anyone at LUL who works 60-80 hour weeks on a regular
basis, then I apologise to them.


Quite frankly working those sorts of hours is either grossly inefficient
or the sign of someone who is solely chasing obscene amounts of money
with no regard to their well being or else someone in a very low paid
job and virtually no employment rights. None of them is an attractive
prospect nor are they relevant or appropriate in an organisation where
safety is a key factor in the service that the public use.

There are plenty of hard working people in LU and being macho about the
quantity of hours anyone puts in is silly.

If not, then my statement is unequivocally true.


Well it is not true at all and to be quite honest I'm surprised to see
you resort to such a low form of "argument".
