Looks like Labour are rolling over for the unions to have their bellies tickled.

[crystal ball]

No. More efficient means they’ll have to work harder or make cuts. Mind you, I can see their point - I don’t think I’d like sit on my arse and push a lever back and forth for a paltry £60k a year.

Mottie the train driver

 

[fillyboy]

It's a very responsible position. Demands a lot of training and highly selective process to become a driver.

Everybody else's job always looks easy

Education to GCSE level and 7 - 9 months training.

You frequently use You Tube clips to support your assertion.

I bloody well don’t!

Show me just one YouTube clip I’ve used then.

Gotcha.
Expected because you're a proven liar.

 

[fillyboy]

Gotcha.
Expected because you're a proven liar.

To be fair, it was a satirical youtube item, a bit like JohnD's satirical anti Israel posts by Karen on facebook. It's a laugh.

The unions are all queuing up for their payouts for bankrolling labour. Next people will be wondering why GDP is down and inflation up.

Some train drivers are now earning over 100k with overtime. They don't even have to steer.

Nah. My 8 year old only had a one width swimming certificate when he drove a train from Romford to Upminster.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Yes I forgot.

Anybody can drive a train. No responsibility needed.

It's still further proof of Mottie's habitual lies. He can't help himself, he'll lie persistently in an attempt to maintain what little credibility he has left.
He'll invent anecdotes and imagined scenarios to spread his bigoted ideology. Then he'll deny whatever he needs to deny to protect himself.
He'll say and do anything in attempts to protect himself against accusations. Anything he says has to be treated with maximum suspicion.
He'll accuse others of actions which he commits himself, and he'll criticise others of the things he's also guilty of.
He might get away with his lies in real life because his words are not recorded. But when he commits his words in writing, he's easily exposed.

like a bus driver you mean? except without steering.

Yes, I think it's that simple. Isn't it?

only 2 needed. English and Maths or equiv.

 

[Mottie]

Nah. My 8 year old only had a one width swimming certificate when he drove a train from Romford to Upminster.

Just to think, that job is now being done by a grown man on £60k+ a year. The world’s gone mad!

 

[motorbiking]

plus overtime.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

plus overtime.

Are you saying 60k is basic before overtime ?

 

[gas112]

The dozy R/W want coal mines to open again

so you were more than happy that they shut then ?
