If you live in Upminster, book on in Upminster, but are suddenly told

might make people grumpy.

So they have to travel around the M25 at 4 in the morning when theres
bugger all traffic? So what? Besides, I think its highly unlikely that
would happen anyway but I don't see why a driver booking on at
upminster shouldn't be expected to drive to amersham if the job
requires it. But then this is LU Driver World we're talking about, not
the real world. Anyone would think they were being asked to drive a
train to john o groats , not the other side of a city.

And they haven't even begun to intimidate TfL and the Government over
the Olympics yet. I can see it now in return for working "NORMALLY"
during the 2 weeks of the Olympics they want a 20 hour week and a 50%
pay increase and 3 months holiday a year and retire at 55 on a non
contributary pension. About sums it up I think.
