CrashDive:
You are indeed a candidate for an ulcer! That also was intended as a light hearted remark. Having read my comments again, I do find it hard to see exactly what I said that would cause you to spend so much of your clearly precious time in constructing such a lengthy altough articulate reply.
I don't belive that I mentioned any kind of 'special' roster, merley that somone as hard working and valuable as yourself, who clearly has a very high profile, might be considered a valuable asset and have gained "a certain amount of favour". Which would posibly result in slightly favourable rostering. Not too hard to imagine, I don't think.
Indeed, I intended no insult to yourself and if I caused any then you have my most sincere apologies. I didn't feel the need to talk to Barbara, we have much more important things to attend to. (Once again, that was my modest attempt at humour!)
Regards.

Mr Benn:
Thank you very much old boy, THAT is the sort of information I was after! I have a very good friend with Britannia who tells a similar tale.
StressFree:
Sir!? I don't think we have had the pleasure!
Max Autobrake:
Quite!!
