Quote: LifeLongHKRFan "47k may not be enough to mortgage a shed but should tube drivers really be getting more than doctors who work in excess of 50 hours per week with no overtime payments? Should they get more time off than Nurses who have to deal with the Sh*t they do day in day out? Should they get more on top of the 47k basic for doing night shifts? Should they get 30k more per year than an infantry soldier who is fighting for his country?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes then you are what is wrong with this country. I believe that any employee should be able to strike to get what they deserve. Tube drivers currently get more than they deserve and are a set of greedy <insert expletive>. By all means, strike for better safety at work but striking because they now have to work that bit harder (even though they still wont work as hard as Doctors/Nurses/Policemen/firemen/Soldier) for their money is ridiculous.'"


You don't have a clue do you.

Also, can you put me onto the person who appointed you as supreme judge of what salary people deserve? Thanks

Id say a solider is worth more than a tube driver

Quote: Geoff Tipps "I guess you could just walk to your hotel and enjoy the sights on the way ......That's what I'll be doing when I step off the train at Kings Cross ......Do you remember walking, or are you too old to do that now? ......If so, my apologies!'"

Geoff. Remember this part of my kick off post.

ADVICE IS TO BE AWARE AND ALLOW MORE TIME TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION ON FRI OR THE MATCH ON SAT.

It's likely that Sat should be back to normal just about by about midday, if the tube strike goes ahead the day before.

Just trying to be helpful and informative to my fellow heroes and heroines of the Hull KR supporters collective. Not really interested in the merits and demerits of the Tube Strike tbf.

I'm happy that your hotel is close to Kings Cross, but others might not be so lucky. As I currently walk 4 to 5 miles a day on average on 2 dog walks in mixed terrain on the boundaries of the North York Moors in my early retirement, I am happy to inform that my feet, heart and lungs are fully aware of what walking is all about. Appreciate your concern for my welfare, however.

My hotel is our daughter's spare room in SW London. Bloody long walk from Kings Cross, however, but cheap and the breakfast is usually free.

And I assume your sole criteria for coming to that opinion is because the soldier if on tour, risks his life?

I'm not even sure why you or anyone else would make that comparison anyway? Comparing one job to a totally unrelated job, rather than actually read up on the strike to find out why they're doing it. Some people just see that they're paid £40 odd grand and think 'fk em', pretty close minded, jealous attitude.

My nephew's kids club do this walking bus system whereby all the kids from the kids club wear high viz jackets and walk in a long line of pairs, flanked by various staff members. Perhaps we could do a similar thing but with Rovers shirts?

Not jealous at all good luck to them but i wouldn't expect any sympathy from the general public and wasn't it you who mentioned comparisons with other jobs

I doubt they're looking for public sympathy. And, no I didn't compare it to any other job.

Have a read up on it. Broaden that mind of yours.

Times have changed but most of the time not for the better unless you are rich and a MP but enough of that lets hope rovers can pull of a win then we will all be happy icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: fun time frankie "To say they risk terrorist attacks everyday is just stupid they are at risk as much as anyone else in London sounds like you want us to go back to the 70s were strikes solved nothing in the end I was in a union for 10 years and when it came for them actually having to do something they were useless never again would I waste my time with these crooks I also remember my dad who was a docker coming out for a month in support of the miners and the only person who came out of that well was scargill with his nice new house'"

You and me may believe that they aren't under daily threat of terrorist attacks but the government have London on red terror alert permanently. If they believe that then look after the people who work there.
Unions didn't work for you. Well maybe we should do away with space rockets too as you've never used one.
Unions work otherwise we'd all be working from 7 years old and dying from horrific work related injuries and illness (see UK pre unions and see rest of the world were our big corporations now set up business to avoid unions and..........taxes.)

Really. The government who send them out.....usually to kill Brown skinned people........ and then watch them be slaughtered traumatised and maimed don't think so.
Maybe you should raise it with those <please don't dodge the swear filter to use words like that, MR> rather than blame tube drivers?

Whose blaming tube drivers you fecking idiot my last word on it I don't think strikes work nowadays it's not the 70s Union leaders have shown there extravagance at the expense of the workers I don't have a lot of sympathy probably because I'm self employed so don't get sick pay don't get holiday pay and have to give customers 30 days to pay me
