    I didn't know that, well could also argue railways have shhite left wing opinions that need to be booted into the 21st Century, rather than being run by dinosaurs.

    I've mentioned several times that guards are unhelpful, no one has corrected me on that - we've had a couple of examples from other people, how unhelpful they actually are.

    The capitalist ideal of "if they don't like it they should just go and get better paid work" in action.

    It's really good that we don't need nurses.

    It's the same in teaching (vacancies up by 67% as a third quit within 5 years and half within 10)
    I agree in part but I'd argue your starting "fact" is incorrect though. One strike did not lead to a lot of strikes. 10+ years of under inflation pay rises sowed the seeds and then a sudden spike in inflation made it happen. The others aren't striking because they've got the idea from the news.

    I've already agreed in that situation, you writing in capitals don't change that. <laugh>

    However, lots of London cabbies were unhappy how Uber operate, but the youngsters still chose the gangsters as their mode of transport, and didn't really care if there driver was being treated like shhite or if they were doing the London cab driver out of business.

    Being shat on by a corrupt and incompetent government for over a decade is a sadly modern day phenomenon. I don’t really get why you have such beef with them but there’s a lot about you I doubt I’ll ever get.

    I'm off to watch the football on tv now. But at least I depart knowing London Cabbies are right wing facists, I learned something today that wasn't down to @Treble for a change.

    I love the way everyone mentions the Malice each time a convo starts, I swear these left wing fookers are buying it and actually reading it.

    Anyway...footie.

    Youd be surprised about black cabbies so called "knowledge" these days.

    Most ive used in recent years use a sat nav and or need directions.

    And yeh ease of getting an uber over hoping a black cab drives past you is ano brainer.

    Knowing how much the fare will be beforehand is also a massive no brainer.

    You can clock up a nice fare just sitting in traffic using a black cab, and London has nothing but fukin traffic <laugh>

    Is there any chance I can use pictures and diagrams, as relaying 18 months worth of training training is going to be one long chat without them?
