Actually Nick thats old hat. London Underground station staff are

normally
very well dressed - and, in their hats as well! Drivers are supposed to

wear
their hats when outside of the train cabs, but rarely do of course.


Tomorrow's headline: "LU EMPLOYEE IN SENSE-OF-HUMOUR-BYPASS SHOCKER!"

Nick seems a familiar product i.e., possibly ur average commuter bore with
a grudge against rail staff although dont quote me - probably not always
directed necessarily towards LUL staff either. I'm used to 'em however, and
yes I'm an old dinorsaur and proud of it, and often they get short shift
from me, trouble is these days we have to be nice to 'em and make horrendous
announcement all over the shop otherwise we get told off! I wont be around
in a few years however 'cos i'll be retired on the nice big fat pension we
apparently get.


Thanks for proving my point. Again.

How does your sense of humour stand up to constant knocking and slagging
off?

I've worked in the NHS for 15 years, so what do you think?

Hope you're not buying into redtube's "grudge against rail staff"
******** - I would have thought that the totality of my posts on utl
over the years would suggest the exact opposite.

Good point. They prove you've got a grudge against *everybody*, not
just rail staff.

I should have known _someone_ would say that. You'd be hard-pressed
to find a bad word about firefighters, ambulance crews, or cats,
though....

No jokes about "Kat in a hat" please!

LOL
Still, rumour has it that hat-wearing is about to become optional; I'll
still be wearing mine when it's cold though.

Every self respecting station has a cat.

Incidentally, was the cat stolen from Loughton station ever traced?
