sorry?

There are hundreds of quality application for each job. Not a job I want to do but lots of others seem to.

The long-running firefighters' dispute ended in June 2003 with agreement on a 16% pay increase

WTF? I suppose that's to make up for the lack of public-funded, index-linked pension at 50.

I had to cover for them in 2003 and I dont want to have to do it again...they should quit whining and reliase that they have a VERY cushy job. A lot better than most in this country.
