I have never been a member of a union nor been on strike.
I'm lucky that my employers are decent people who treat their staff fairly.
It's sad that so many people have bought into the rhetoric that unions are somehow a bad idea.
I fully support the teachers on their decision to strike.

INORITE!!!!
On a serious note, you should have gone to the open mic at the Open arms the other Sunday. There was a guy doing ragtime/fingerpicking versions of Buzzcocks and Iain Drury songs - he was good!
There was some banjo playing being perpetrated though.

It's the dreary singer-songwriters that put me off these things.
And I'm guilty of inflicting banjo on others myself.

You play the banjo?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You're dead to me.*


*Not really, we're baseball boot brothers so that makes it forgivable.
