Indeed, we all moan about the strikes and the "32 hour weeks for

I don't know. But why pick "6-figure city slickers" as opposed
to 15k office or retail workers in your example? Does it make
your comparision work better?


Perhaps because it's some of the "6-figure city slickers" who think they're
more important than everyone else.

I have not heard of the condition of the poor drivers of those trains!
especially the driver of the Picc train as the bomb was in his carriage
he must be in a terrible state!!

Whilst I am not at liberty to divulge details, I can say that the driver of
the train was not physically injured. Also that his actions in the immediate
aftermath can only be described as heroism of the highest order.

I think on the whole there will be more than a few Queen's
Commendations, and maybe the odd George Medal in this. Hmmmm L.A.S.
G.C. - how does that sound?

Maybe that's true. But do they make up the majority of the
peoiple moaning about strikes and the "32 hour weeks for
