Two 48-hour tube strikes coming up in London - both Tuesday to Thursday, which does a good job of !!!!ing up the tube for the entire working week each time.....

What is support of tube workers like? Pretty minimal I would guess. There will be friendless trains pretty quickly if they carry on holding a gun to the head of London.


GRRRR.. auto correct strikes again. Driverless, not friendless...

£5m in my case; legal minimum for work :eek:

I'd have thought the average policy was £1m cover, I do wonder however what the minimum is.

I think you'll find all Motor Insurance policies are unlimited for Third Party liability, with the Excess liabilities Reinsured to specialist markets.

This is currently the most expensive UK Motor Insurance claim.

By October 2003 Hart's insurers had paid out over £22 million.

I wondered if CK meant because he runs a taxi firm, so liability higher as carrying fare paying passengers.

I have enjoyed reading your thread, has made for interesting reading, though being lir, it is patently obvious when you are banging your head against a brick wall.
am I being too rude:o
Sometimes when people have a snipe, I think cba and don't bother to respond. I think if people are snippy and rude, or call people names without debating, that says more about them as a person than it does you or me. It's always the same old suspects though, which is a shame because when they do try debating rather than mudslinging, theirs are often valid points. They remind me of those kids who sulk and take their balls home if the game doesn't go their way.
[COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]actually you are right, which is what's so disappointing. The sniper actually doesn't bother me, I find it quite amusing to watch just mildly frustrating that I have the argument in my head but cannot transcribe it to finger tips to show it up sooner, its times like that my linguistic failures and now slower intellect are keenly felt by me.:o:( [/COLOR]
I am happy to be proven wrong, it's part of the learning process. I just don't feel a great need to be called a jetlag the same time.


ETA that should read jerk at, not jetlag. I love auto correct, it is so random...

Actually, I don't mind. Eleanor Roosevelt embodied me. .

Some one can call me what they want to back up their opinion to them selves, but it just makes it clearer how easily waylaid they can be by a trail of bread crumbs. I may not longer have great linguistic prowess nor the mind I once had, but I still have gretl's basket.

I don't really I care to win any great row, which I think is also a fundamental difference. I'm interested in the subject....

A topic with no 'right or wrong' stymies people who just see a point to prove or an argument to win, which in itself is, I admit, very slightly amusing. But its so thrilling when people respond in spirit and further a discussion. Ok, its not thinking allowed let alone BSA but its still interesting.

Well you could be an embodiment of much worse people than Eleanor Roosevelt lir! And no, I didn't find you rude at all.

Sympathy - not great. They are paid pretty well and strike an awful lot.

Try airside with very haxardous goods CK, only 2 insurers will deal with us!

Lir I think you have been very patient, I do try but usually walk away. On DT there is a thread that started as why take kids to church only on xmas eve and it has become a bicker between believers and non. Going nowhere and neither will change their minds.

NDG can you get about without the tube? Is that a daft question from someone oop North. Undoubtedly will be driverless trains. The first UK road trials of driverless trucks should happen this year. It's called platooning apparently. First truck is driven by a human and controls the following 9.

For the first strike days next week, I'm in Feltham two of the 3 days affected, so it'll be annoying.
