Well I'm moaning because such actions lead to dead punters, and right s*** headlines in the news.

And leads to more people supporting the maximum 48 hour week.

Is that what folks want? :?

Well the work is so crap that there is talk of a compulsary day off every week for the drivers at Brum Airport.

And it has worked in the past.
