Ava herself defined strikers as "Heritage" crew, I believe.
Champagne Charlies are those with a champagne lifestyle. I am unwaged, so do not have a champagne lifestyle. (Not as often as I would like).
I would love to afford to drive to BFC in a drophead BMW and drink lots of pimms with the strikers, and give a customer point of view. However, the price appears to be to join either the cult, or Socialist Worker. By the look of it, and a drop head BMW would be handy aswell. I can't afford one of them.
I have no desire to either join the cult, or to join Socialist Worker. The millionaires that run Socialist Worker strike me as the worst sort of two-faced so and sos.
Is calling the cult "Champagne Charlies" an insult? If it is, it is far less insulting than the insults which bassa et al give out to customers, - and as to what they say about BA management, I need say nothing, as they say it all.
