Barry Sanchez Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 I'm originally from Yorkshire, and lived in Leeds for four years up until last summer. So I'm fairly sure I know the deal there. What have Premiership players got to do with the tube striking?? You've kind of missed the point entirely haven't you? These are the same group of people that demand extra money for doing their job at every given opportunity, and then threaten to strike at times when they can affect as many people as possible. Remember all that crap about the Olympics? How many other people working in London got paid bonuses for doing their job when that was on? I certainly didn't. And I don't know anyone else, including other TFL workers that did. Do a little bit more research bub, for public sector workers, train drivers have got in cushty. Get paid WAY more than many other public sector workers, especially those with comparative skills, education or training - for example nurses. They are not even comparable in terms of pay to nurses, bin men or sewer workers. So really, you have offered nothing to this. But yeah, top marks for trying. So wheel your neck in, and enough of the indirect threats. I'm from Yorkshire, and have no problem telling fellow Yorkshiremen that Maggie could sort out the unions again. Half of Yorkshire is tory so no story here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 I doubt it it, but then that post is from someone who said in another thread they love the prem and only started supporting saints in '03, so it's probably the worst kind of new fan. Thanks for the biography. When's the hardback out? Yes I started supporting Saints, full-time in '03 - having been going to the Dell on/off since '96. That said I carried on supporting Saints in the Champ & L1, so the overwhelming majority of my time as a Saints fan has been outside the prem. So does the fact I'm younger than you, and therefore started supporting Saints later than you make me a bad-fan? Get a grip, what are you the adjudicator of Saints fans authenticity? A scab who ooks after himself, a thatcherite love child, this bell sounds like he wants a race to the bottom, up the workers they have the balls to go for it, they are in a strong Union, fair play to them, since when has there been a comphrehensive rail service on Boxing day anyway? The railways should be shut as they always used to be, and shops as well. Blimey all this attention for me. Whatever did I do to deserve it? As I said, before both of you started spouting off. It was a joke. So maybe calming yourselves down a bit might be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 Half of Yorkshire is tory so no story here. Never said I was a tory. Your research has let you down, like I already mentioned it was a joke. Shall we get back to football/saints - as opposed to my satirical opinions? I'm sure people are more interested in this.

It's my understanding that all TFL workers are subject to drug tests. Well, based on a mate that works in a control room, and another that fixes the Boris Bikes - who both have to take drug tests.
