    airport demonstrators

    You know the answer to that one already. The real question is how do they afford the tickets to get in and disrupt the airport? Obviously the dole are overpaying these chumps. "It's been fun so far - I've been topping up my tan while I work," laughs Claire Blatchford, 20, a "full-time...

    Mains water supplies don't need to be buried

    Scottish Gas wields the axe

    Doing it once and not saying anything could be looked on with a bit of mercy, but 800 times? Its theft and deception, plain and simple - in a business where the employees have access to sensitive customer information (including access to financial history/bank details) then honesty & integrity...
