you jest , but make a serious point.
If everyone strikes, the school kids without teachers can become the fireman, train drivers and Postmen.
That way, kids learn a trade, services still run, and Jo Public ( me ) is happy.
Government overpays for everything
A mate of mine worked for a computer firm that would charge the Government 8 times more for the exact same product than they would charge to a private firm And we are talking of 10's of millions, not just a few quid.
if they are going to charge me £50 a ticket, then I want to see the best talent available, whether they are from Hampshire or Timbukto.
Nothing is going to change, no matter how many people bleat on and on about it.
FWIW, it was a buy it now auction.
And sold within about 6 hours of being listed, with 60 odd views.
I am re-listing it at a much higher price, hence not being too fussed about the cancellation.
