They weren't allowed to change on the coach though, it fucked off as soon as they were dropped off.

Why couldn't they have changed on the coach
during the four-hour drive to London?

do you enjoy changing for work on the tube?

Frankly yes. A great deal.

OK then.
I was basing it on this post:http://www.b3ta.com/questions/offtopic/post1634700

as I assumed CHompy knew what he was taking about.

what was the under the bridge thing, did they have a tent?

Nope. they were meant to be dropped off at 5am, change on the coach then get to work soon after
they got dropped off around 3am, the coach fucked off, they had to wait there until 5 or 6am and then they were told to get changed on the street and get to work.

OK, so not actually spending the night under a bridge then?
I do agree it's wrong and bad and shit, but presenting the bare facts would have been better.

Ah but there's no rabid story, then, is there?

it's still a pretty shitty way to treat people and something I'd be angry about
there's no need to try and make it sound worse by lying. it's not even The Mail here, it's actually a grown up newspaper.

No question it's really shit
but no shitter than many other things. Serious 'slow news day' stuff.

Have you read both articles?

(, Wed 6 Jun 2012, 16:58, Reply)
I've not read either of them. I'm just trying to start an argument on here out of boredom.

Honesty online,

Read both articles, their not rabid at all, they just list the claims and counter claims.

That was a reply to both of you.

Are you saying there's something wrong with my words?
WELL ARE YOU?

there's something wrong with anyone's words
if they can't distinguish between "there" and "their" and "they're".

They were told to bed down and sleep under the bridge while they waited for their shift to start.

I heard they were told to clean chimneys until daylight
and were then flogged if they asked for more gruel. That's what I heard.

Meh.
lying story has made me loose interest. this is why I don't read newspapers.
(, Wed 6 Jun 2012, 16:55, Reply)
You don't read newspapers, you read what's said on here without checking the original article
then blame the newspapers.
(, Wed 6 Jun 2012, 16:57, Reply)
I blame the newspapers for CQ not having read them.

(, Wed 6 Jun 2012, 17:00, Reply)
I read the article
and what was on here. neither gave all the details that Al and you appear to have. none of this changes the fact that newspapers spout biased bollocks, even the ones I agree with. I'll stick to the radio or tv or other sources.

We listen to Today, because we're fucking cool.

Good job the radio and TV are unbiased, then.
It's a weight off my mind and no mistake.
