I think the point the smiling Greek is trying to make with this program is a simple one.
If you turn up late you won't get on. Don't try and blame anything but yourself - because you still won't get on.
Why won't you get on - the Captain said so - that's what is said on every program.
Anyone from the Orange camp willing to say that this is the case - my guess is that you're not even consulted about 'runners'.
