  1. Lord Sainsbury has donated over 6 million to the party if you are to believe the press. Do you think he has an eye for business?

  2. Vivienne Westwood - Apparently worth nearly 200 million. Does she have an eye for business?

  4.  @johnou.k.3780  Same going for all the anti socialists that were quite happy to sit in their garden rooms for over a year on fresh printed money which has now contributed towards the highest inflation in over 40 years. Ambulance staff, train staff, post office staff all lazy, sit on their arses according to your myopia when all these people were working through the pandemic when it was office workers, bankers etc who sat on their arses at home.

  6. @Don Doodat Johnnie's a bit of a contradiction that types shite. Tells everyone that people are jealous of rich people for what they've got then spouts the usual drivle about train drivers wages and its too much for what they do when he's never ever done the job in question. ( and unlikely to as would probably never get thru the training ) Obviously he's forgotten that all these rich bankers etc need to get to their offices in the city with most of them using the underground system whose workers have been at work several hours before Mr Bonus Banker has sipped their first soya machiato of the day. But of course in Johnnos world everyone is lazy. He's living proof of how the RW press ( 85% of it owned by billionaires who don't pay tax to the UK and live abroad ) have spent over a decade of drip feeding shite to the idiots and turned everyone against each other - a la William Rees moggs predictions!

  7.  @johnou.k.3780  You said that last time Johnoand as I told you I'm retired - 33 years on the front of a train that you will never ever drive despite going on about how easy it is/£59k/etc. All my 36 years N.I. contributions are fully paid up.

  8.  @johnou.k.3780  Here's a quick question? What would be your first check if after closing the doors at a station you had no forward movement? Relatively easy defect and as you are an expert I would be interested in your answer?

  9.  @Meow-In-Trouble-Now  A fully laden tube train ( S stock ) holds over 1,300 passengers. Of course having all those people sitting behind you is a piece of piss if you are Johno.

  10.  @johnou.k.3780  64k is industry standard. Pay talks normally involve a settlement of having pay increases over 3 or 4 years at a percentage over RPI. This year the pay increases started again - your beloved Tory party because of their incompetence have driven inflation to it's highest in over 40 years hence the railways not wanting to give pay increases at the current rate of inflation. This all the while that the CEO of the whole lot is on 600k plus bonuses. The clues in the title Johno - payrise, so forget the 10,11,12% and concentrate on what the cost of living is. Everyone should be entitled to one. All that talk about " get another job " is waffle. Your trouble is confusion - no good saying in your comments about rich people , their contributions and their entitlement to earn decent wages then try and belittle railworkers, post office staff, ambulance staff etc for wanting a piece of the pie. Shall everyone else work for shit money? What do YOU do? If you are on crap money blame yourself rather than look at train drivers. Your comment about me not doing anything is bollox. I spent 33 years in all weathers getting up at 2.50am to drive 60 miles to work, drive and instruct other new drivers, have responsibility far more than most people in lots of other jobs, have the threat of being abused, spat at, have knives pulled out on me and on one occasion a handgun shoved in my face. Not to forget people using the train I was operating at the time as a method of taking their own life ( I had 6 attempts with one fatality) and all the horrible dreams of taking someone's head off as happened in the last one. Terrorism threats ( worked 7/7 ) no weekends off for 5 years, no bank holidays apart from xmas day. Working with high voltage and the dangers it entails so yes, train drivers are worth every penny. Stop regurgitating the rubbish in the press. That just shows the gaslighting has worked on you. You've also come across that train workers aren't that important which is strange as so many People seem to be kicking off every time they are on strike because they can't get to where they want to be. I look at it this way - a banker turns up for a meeting 10 minutes late. What do they do? Yep, have the meeting 10 minutes later. Now apply that to a train sitting on a platform for 10 minutes past it's departure time because the drivers late. Who would you say is more important??

  11. Inflation at a 40 year high and helped along by the tories giving 12 million office staff freshly printed money to sit in their gardens for over a year. Billions given to their mates, billions wasted on brexshit, fantasy projects and invisible buildings/bridges. Time to give your noggin a big wobble.
