    I'll have you know that Mildred is very glamorous......
    well OK Mildred might have approached glamorous 30 years ago...
    OK OK Mildred wasn't a rough old dog 30 years ago....
    OK So she was pretty rough 30 years ago but she was at least young!

    WHS.

    I hear BA have pulled the plug on the concessions for their striking members. I have to say I agree with that one...
    I heard that on the news the other day too, something about their cheap and free flights perks not being in their contracts so BA is pulling them permanently for all of the strikers.
    I've never understood how striking can ever pay off as the number of days pay lost would need a big pay and conditions hike to repay.

    I'm hoping BA go bankrupt and get bought out by someone who reinstates the sandwiches.

    I mean WTF are sky bites? A bag of seeds.

    At least they still give you beer, I suppose it isn't all bad.

    Strikers will lose their perks. Good plan because all the rotten eggs will become pissed off and leave.
