      The London weighting on salaries should really be scrapped.

        Nah that's the extra we get for being fast and not dawdling in tube stations like you lot.
        Hard Brexit now!

            It's called having a conversation, you should try it, you could make some friends instead of sitting in front of your PC stereotyping people.

            PS Why do you spend your time roaming the dreary pubs?

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                There's a pub in London where young women go who are desperate to pick up a guy and take him home for a shag, and we're not talking tobacco (or payment).

                Someone mentioned it here a couple of years ago, but couldn't recall the name or location, and needless to say no one else knew either.

                  Stringfellows probably.
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    Well wasn't it like that any central Walkabout about 15-20 years ago? Unless things have changed more recently...
