    This was back in the days before Paramedics, when ambulances still had mechanical bells.

    Even in the more recent years when they did, it was the Deputy's job to manage the railway side of things.

      Not really, the Northern Line has a higher number of people under trains, the Central line just seems to be more deadly

          But for all you know the higher numbers on the Northern line could be the same person trying over and over again to end it all and then finally achieving his goal. At least with the central line we know there are a lot more different people trying because dead people don't do second attempts.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

              55% of the D-Day landings was UK/Canadians, but it was still "a Franco-American" affair. I'd like to know what the French are commemorating here.

                  I knew a guy who worked for railtrack. After people got hit by trains, it was his responsibility, as a manager, to coordinate and work with the team to literally pick up the pieces. Preferably before the local wildlife did.

                  Messy.

                  After RTA's it certainly used to be plod's job to scrape bodies off the tarmac.
