On union leaders pay,I'm amazed that he gives a toss.

(is the no 4 route affected?)

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

what is your point?

I note the London United, a subsidiary of the Paris based French State owned RATP group, has issued a notice that any striking employee or their nominated partner who uses their Staff or nominated partner pass on any TfL transport service tomorrow will have that pass withdrawn. So, RATP is no friend of egalité, liberté or fraternité (equal pay rate across the TfL bus operators being the rationale for the strike). RATP n'est pas Charlie, it would appear.

As P G Wodehouse wrote - and who should know better? - there's been some dirty work at the font from time to time.

I remember one Sunday at church the baptism of twin boys named "William and Benjamin". Whether they ever had a younger sister called Weed I know not.

It seems that some parents just don't think.

Why the comment about union leader's pay ? Which is likely to be far lower than that of the managers of the buses ?

somebody who has always been a union member replies:

It was a lighthearted comment on what seemed to be a lighthearted approach to an admittedly important subject.
