Amazingly enough, he's stumbled on a good point.

Every time there's a strike, I take getting to work as giving a big two
fingers to Bob Crow.

Pretty bloody low? You might want to check this out.

I'd say 40k's pretty bloody low given the level of responsibility *for
peoples' lives*, the consequences of error, the antisocial hours, ...

It's certainly not enough to make me want to do it.

He said that after you said that you rejoiced in other people losing
their jobs: "I am rejoicing in them being made redundant".

I am returned the
compliment to him. I didn't refer to any LU staff as scum.

Yes you did. You said:

" I have never been on a days strike in my life, UNLIKE THE SCUM
AT LONDON UNDERGROUND. "

So that just makes you lieing scum, I suppose.

Oh please. Its far more dangerous on the roads than driving a train
protected by trip cocks or run but ATO. How many bus accidents are
there compared with tube ones? As for the hours , I agree its probably
not pleasent , but plenty of other trades work hours just as bad or
even worse. 24 hour plumbers, pest control, milkmen etc.

That would be about twice a nurse's wage I think. Just as well some people
are prepared to do that job.
