HEW & NIKNAK
APOLOGY NOW PLEASE! I come from a part of the country where retained firefighters are most definately on strike. I can say this with authority because I am MARRIED TO ONE! And count many others as good friends. The RFU are not on strike but as 90% of retained firefighters are in the FBU, they are, therefore, on strike!!
As many of the appliances that attend our airfield are retained ones, when the strike is on we also have no back up cover apart from what I already mentioned.
So don't slag me off unless you are sure of your facts. And NIK, completely uncalled for to be so insulting.
