I agree with R21 - why should we?

To elaborate further: I had a Fireman living at the bottom of my street, who easily held down two jobs, because he slept all night on shift. I often wondered how he afforded a new car every year and lived in a massive house, and yet had the gall to strike for more pay.
Some of my chaps who covered the last strike couldn't believe their luck. Sleep through your shift, and get the next day off, whilst we at the MOB struggled on. Good to see the boys let slip this to the press, with the subsequent sympathy vote for the calendar boys hitting an all time low.
