Zing!
I'm just saying, although it might not look like it takes a lot of talent to sit in a cabin and control a tube train, I am sure there's a lot of training and preparation involved.

There's also the fact that the tube system is at least semi-autonomous so it's not really our tax money that is paying these people's wages. Not like binman and other local authority workers. Are you annoyed that footballers make millions of pounds to kick a piece of leather about? Not so much.

as for footballers
hell yeah its rediculous! but thats the free market and they are not holding london to ransom to get a pay rise. Lots of people are struggling to hold on to their jobs

You're being ridiculous.
I worked in London when they were striking last year and the world didn't end. You really don't and shouldn't have a say in what tube drivers, or anyone else gets paid. Not unless it comes directly out of taxpayer's money.
