Settle down fargoo, I was just having a larrfff.
Seriously though, there are some areas within BA Eng that you really would not want to upset 'da management'.
The talking point was a way for individuals who did not have a sympathetic ear to talk to to air their views. Yes, I know there were a few silly ones complaining about the lack of sarnies in the night shift vending machines but overall there were some serious issues that needed attention.
I for one will miss it as it allowed me to sound off about issues that my immediate line manager either would not address or would have got him so narked as to make my life hell.
